I would like to add a comma after a percent symbol in a LaTeX document. But if I do this I end up with space after a comma i.e "140\% , " if I leave comma too close it does not show when I compile the report. Any idea how to fix this issue please?

  • B.t.w., typographically, there should be a \, between the number and \%.

A very basic thing about TeX is that % is a special character that introduces comments: everything on a line from % to the end is ignored.

Exception: \% ignores nothing and prints the percentage symbol.
