Creating Percentage Field But Not In Decimal?

Hi, sorry if the title is unclear, but what I'm looking for is making a field display a percentage. I know about the Percentage format, but that requires the user to enter the percentage as a decimal. I was wondering if it was possible to have the user enter a number and have that automatically convert to a percentage? I need to do a calculation based off of that percentage as well, so I would still need the value to be a decimal, but the display would show XX%. So the user would type in 50 in the field and it would show as 50%. Another field would then do the calculation .5 * another field to attain a value. Thanks!

Train the users. You can use the field validation tab to check for a valid entry range and you can create a custom message.
