Changing proportion table values into percentages

I have the following table code

weather<-cbind(c(rep("rain",50),rep("sun",70),rep("rain",100),rep("sun",80)))
prop.table(table(weather))

...which results in the following output:

rain  sun 
 0.5  0.5

How can I change the code so that the output instead becomes this: 

rain  sun 
 50%  50%

Any suggestions?

You can use sprintf for this. In your example, you would do this:

sprintf("%2d%%", prop.table(table(weather))*100)

For more number format options, check out the sprintf documentation here.

paste0(round(prop.table(table(weather))*100, 1),'%')

round isn't necessary here, but it would be if your values had lots of decimal places.
