Desplay Results as a percentage

I have Script that outputs a percentage value in the results, Purchase_Percent_2014 and YTD_Purchase_Percent_2015 currently they go out 6 decimal places I would like it to display just 1 decimal place with the % symbol for example 22.5% currently it is displaying 22.500000

Najam,
Yeah... I know it is a bit out there, but it works. I should have said I am on MSSQL 2008R2 so I can't use CONCAT

We’d all like to think our company’s data is well protected, but when you ask IT professionals they admit the data probably is not as safe as it could be.

lcohanDatabase AnalystCommented:
phew...and as said if you really want only one decimal in the percentage(I left 2 as I believe this is "regular" way to display percentages) you can change the

round(VPP.YTD_Purchase_Percent_2014,2) as numeric(36,2)

like

round(VPP.YTD_Purchase_Percent_2014,2) as numeric(36,1)

to get only one decimal place.
skull52IT director Author Commented:
Yeah... I know this was a twisted script, but I was given little time to do it.  That's why I had a hard time figuring out how to do the conversions, I knew i could use round in there but wasn't sure of the syntax and the concatenation of the % symbol, thanks again.
