How to pass a css % parameter in javascript/jquery

Question

The context for this: jsFiddle link

I'm trying to make it so the changeWidth function's second parameter can be a percentage value (like in css: something: 50%;). If you follow the link I provided it should be fairly obvious why I'm trying to do this. I thought maybe the parameter passed is just a number (e.g. 75), but then in the method itself it converts it to a % for use in the animate(..) invocation... But I don't know how to do this either.

Any ideas? :)

EDIT: I managed it! Don't worry! (If interested, see this)!

I'll give you the selected answer as you were first, but I actually managed to work it out before you responded. Thanks anyway though! :D

You can pass the width as a string

$(function(){
    changeWidth($("#testbar"), '70%');
});
