Yes a percent can be written in scientific notation. In fact, a percentage is already almost scientific notation. % means x10-2 So 7% is 7x10-2

For double digit percentages you would need to divide the number by 10, and take away one from the power. So 25% is 2.5x10-3

For any other numbers, you can convert the percentage to a decimal by dividing it by 100. So 584.6% is 5.846. Once you have the decimal you can convert it to scientific notation the standard way.
