"Percentage value" still means some string, no different from any other... and you can store anything in the ComboBox elements...
So, what's the problem?..

The combo can only ever show a string, unless of course, you paint the combo yourself.

So, if it's a string you're adding, why not just do this:

cmdPectentageofSales.Items.Add(dr("PercentageofSales").ToString() + "%");

Really, how hard was that?
