CPU usage in percentage in Powershell - powershell

Question

I want the CPU to be displayed as a percentage at the end of the code I wrote. Is there a way?
this is my code
Get-Process svchost | % $_.CPU
Hardly made it this far, only last episode left

Thanks #Santiago for pointing out the issue that it was the reading for the same svchost instance everytime, this is fixed now.
The code below borrows heavily from this thread: Powershell Get a specific process counter with id process
to get the correct reading.
This gets you the Path, the Id and %.
$procResult = Get-Process -Name svchost
$resultObjects = #();
foreach ($result in $procResult) {
$p = $((Get-Counter '\Process(*)\ID Process' -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue).CounterSamples | % { [regex]$a = "^.*\($([regex]::Escape($_.InstanceName))(.*)\).*$";[PSCustomObject]#{InstanceName=$_.InstanceName;PID=$_.CookedValue;InstanceId=$a.Matches($($_.Path)).groups[1].value}})
$target = $p | where { $_.PID -eq $result.Id }
$counterResult = Get-Counter -Counter "\Process($($target.InstanceName+$target.InstanceId))\% Processor Time" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
if ($null -eq $counterResult) {
continue;
}
$resultObjects += [PSCustomObject]#{
Path = $result.Path
Id = $result.Id
CPU = $counterResult.CounterSamples[0].CookedValue
}
}
$resultObjects | ft
You won't get the CPU usage in % with your code above. I really do not know why you insist on not changing the structure of your code as the structure of code is irrelevant as long as it is readable and get the job done.
