Python has very robust string formatting you can use and it won't require a code block.  For the expression, try:

"{:.0%}".format(!condicao!/!total!)

I would like to transform the number "27" into "27%". The way that I know, is to going on field pane and changing "number format" to percentage.

Going in this string field idea, how do I concatenate the symbol "%" into my code bloc?

This scrip in code bloc helps me to get percentage value. If I wanna concatenate an "%" symbol, do I need to write "return round(X,0) + "%"".

I'm asking cus when I made it, it acuses me error.

Many Thanks!

If you want to programmatically set the number format of a field, I don't think you can do that with Python.
