Add percentage discount for individual product in magento

Question

I need to give percentage discount for my simple products in magento and I need to show the discount amount in the front end also.

I had googled to find a solution but I could not find any. I tried to use shipping cart rules, but I need to give discount for some product only, not the whole cart amount.

I know I can assign it in special price, but there percentage value is not accepting.

Any one know how to do it?

You can set this using Catalog Price Rules. You can access this in backend from Top Navigation Promotions >> Catalog Price Rules.

You can specify products valid for this rule using their attribute value. Here is the screenshot for this:
