Try this in a cell:-

="First bit of my sentence " & A1 & " another bit of writing "

Purs whatever is in A1 in the midle.

Here's one way:

A1 = 25% (formatted as %)

=A1*100&"% of Total"

With "25" in A1 and "% of Total" in B1, (without quotes), then in C1, or
wherever, put

=A1&B1

to return 25% of Total

or

=text(a1,"0.00%") & " of total"

(or use the percent format of your choice)
