Those are not numbers.
They will be strings.
If you want numbers you'll need to do some work to first remove the %  
characters and then convert them to_f (because they're conceptually  
floats) After that Ruby will by default lop off the trailing 0's
But you won't have that % character on them.
If you need to use that format and use it a lot, create a class for  
them.
