To sign 'percent', form an 'O' handshape with your dominant hand, keeping your palm facing outward or slightly angled. Start with your hand raised in front of you, slightly to your non-dominant side. Then, move your hand diagonally downward and across your body to your dominant side, as if tracing the slash of a percent symbol (%) in the air.
Sign '100' first, then immediately follow it with the sign for 'percent' by making the diagonal sweeping motion with your 'O' handshape.
Sign the number '50', then sign 'percent', and finish the sentence with the signs for 'chance', 'rain', and 'today'.
Establish the context by signing 'phone' and 'battery', then sign the number '10' followed by the 'percent' sign.

No, you don't need to draw the circles in the air. Your 'O' handshape already represents the circles! Just focus on making the smooth diagonal downward movement to represent the slash.
The movement should mimic how you write the symbol. If you are right-handed, start slightly high on your left side and move diagonally down to your lower right side.
In ASL, you simply sign the number first, followed immediately by the sign for 'percent'. For example, sign '25' and then make the diagonal 'O' handshape motion.
