Default Multiple Formula Custom Formatting

I was recently challenged to create a formula that displays two values
separated by a slash in the same cell. For example A1=40 and B2= 10. C3
displays [30 / .75]. The difference between the two, and what should be the
percentage. The formula I put together is =(A1-B2)&" / "&((A1-B2)/A1).

The formula works but I can not get the second value to format as a %, it
only displays as a decimal. Does anyone know how I can make the second value
display as a percentage without messing up the formatting of the first value?

Any advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks, Carter
