val() converts a text to number. "%" is not a valid number, so it is csonverted to zero. Also, whatever "%" converts to (in this case zero) is added as a number: 90 + 0 = 90.
To combine different texts, you use the same "+" sign, but with data of type character. In this case, convert "percent" to string, with transform() or str().
