How can I return a percentage in PHP?

I'm having troubles how to properly return a percentage in PHP. I've tried using the sprintf function, although this only worked when I used decimals; how can I return a percentage in PHP using built in functions?

$percentage = sprintf('%3f', $completes / $incompletes);

Does not work. I've tried everything I could think of and all though this worked for decimals, it doesn't appear to work for integers...

<?php
   echo sprintf('%.2f%%', 177.3333 / 100.0);

%% - Returns a percent sign

$percentage = sprintf('%3f%%', $completes / $incompletes);

What about:

$percentage = ($completes / $incompletes) * 100;
echo $percentage . "%";
