Some style guides recommend a numeral and the symbol % rather than the word percent, even if the number is less than 10 (eg, "A total of 5%...").

Percent

A "percent" is always a specific number, amount, or quantity, such as 5 percent or 100 percent.

"Percent": Usage rules:

Never spell out the number in front of the word "percent", even if you would normally spell it out. For example, "5 percent" is correct, not "five percent".
Always use one space between the number and "percent". For example, "5 percent" is correct, "5percent" is incorrect.
Spell out "percent" as one word, never "per cent" or "per ¢" or "%".
"Percent": Exceptions to the Usage Rules (Pesky, but Necessary)

It's okay to use the symbol "%" in tables and highly technical materials where the term comes up repeatedly.
Or, if it is mandated in your house style guide.
Or, if it is used directly in or on a product, such as a user interface, that you are documenting.
