Well to waste more bandwith....I compiled, linked, linted and tested this one.

#include <stdio.h>

main()
        {
        printf ("This is a percent sign %c\n",'%');
        printf ("This is a percent sign %%\n");
        printf ("This is a percent sign %s\n","%");
        printf ("This is a percent sign %c\n",'\045');  /* ASCII dependent */
        printf ("This is a percent sign %c\n",0x25);    /* ASCII dependent */
        }
