Subject: Extending Float

Maybe I haven't wrapped my head around OOP in the way I should have, can
anyone explain to me why I can't do this?:
--
class Percentage < Float
  def to_s(decimalplaces = 0)
    (((self * 10**(decimalplaces+2)).round)/10**decimalplaces).to_s+"%"
  end
end

puts Percentage.new(0.5)
--
I just get the following error:
  NoMethodError: undefined method ‘new’ for Percentage:Class

I hope its obvious what I'm trying to do, let me know if there's a way
to achieve this that I'm missing!
Thanks in advance
