Convert decimal to percentage value
How can I convert a given decimal into the respective percentage value with a certain amount of positions q after the comma? The percentage should be rounded with respect to q+1.
For example, I am looking for something like
percentage[position after the comma]{given decimal}
that produces:
percentage[positions-after-comma = 2]{0.12123456}: 12.12%
percentage[positions-after-comma = 4]{0.12123456}: 12.1235%
percentage[positions-after-comma = 4]{2.12123456}: 212.1235%
percentage[positions-after-comma = 1]{0.6789}: 67.9%
percentage[positions-after-comma = 5]{0.6789}: 67.89000%
decimal-number percentage

You can use the siunitx
package:
documentclass{article}
usepackage{siunitx}
newcommandpercentage[2][round-precision = 2]{% default precision: 2
SI[round-mode = places,
scientific-notation = fixed, fixed-exponent = 0,
output-decimal-marker={.}, #1]{#2e2}{percent}%
}
begin{document}
percentage{0.123456} % -> 12.35 %
percentage[round-precision = 3]{0.123456} % -> 12.345 %
end{document}

Your values looks wrong. But beside this:
documentclass{article}
usepackage{xfp,xparse}
ExplSyntaxOn
int_new:Nl_bjprim_round_int
keys_define:nn {bjprim}
{
positions-after-comma .int_set:N = l_bjprim_round_int
}
NewDocumentCommandpercentage { O{} m }
{
keys_set:nn {bjprim}{positions-after-comma=2,#1}
fpeval{round(#2*100,l_bjprim_round_int)}%
}
ExplSyntaxOff
begin{document}
percentage[positions-after-comma = 2]{0.123456}: 12.12%
percentage[positions-after-comma = 4]{0.123456}: 12.1235%
percentage[positions-after-comma = 4]{2.123456}: 212.1235%
percentage[positions-after-comma = 1]{0.6789}: 67.9%
percentage[positions-after-comma = 5]{0.6789}: 67.89000%
end{document}
If you really want to fill up with zeros you could round with siunitx:
documentclass{article}
usepackage{xfp,xparse,siunitx}
ExplSyntaxOn
int_new:Nl_bjprim_round_int
keys_define:nn {bjprim}

NewDocumentCommandpercentage { O{} m }
{
keys_set:nn {bjprim}{positions-after-comma=2,#1}
num[round-mode = places,round-precision=l_bjprim_round_int]{fpeval{#2*100}}%
}
ExplSyntaxOff
begin{document}
percentage[positions-after-comma = 2]{0.123456}: 12.12%
percentage[positions-after-comma = 4]{0.123456}: 12.1235%

If you really want to fill up with zeros you could round with siunitx:
