Idiom #65 Format decimal number

From the real value x in [0,1], create its percentage string representation s with one digit after decimal point. E.g. 0.15625 -> "15.6%"

import "fmt"
s := fmt.Sprintf("%.1f%%", 100.0*x)

The literal % must be doubled.
#include <stdio.h>
char s[7];
sprintf(s, "%.2lf%%", x * 100);
