How should I use % sign that it can be printed out correctly?

Question

when I try to write 90% I do 90 $%$ , but none works and anything after the % doesn't print in the output, any solution ?

\% is how it is done. – Steven B. Segletes Mar 28 '15 at 17:33 — Steven B. Segletes, Mar 28 '15 at 17:33

The easy way is to use \%, the preferred way \SI{5}{\percent}, for example. The siunitx package approach has a 'better' spacing.

\documentclass{article}


\usepackage{siunitx}
\begin{document}

One way: 5\% 

or \SI{5}{\percent}


\end{document}

@Farzad64: Well, admittedly, looking for % as Escape character is not very straightforward, right – Mar 28 '15 at 18:29
