I'm used to OS X and I use MenuMeters in my menu bar to monitor CPU usage as a percentage and memory as used/free totals. I really want to add this functionality in Ubuntu as I'm using it for development. I've seen that you can add graphs. Graphs mean nothing to me :). I need percentages. How can I add this functionality in Ubuntu?

There is no need to add any extra repository, just install indicator-multiload
from the default repos:
sudo apt install indicator-multiload
Then start it manually the first time by searching for "system load indicator" in the dashboard.
Right click the indicator for preferences.

The system load indicator can be configured to display numeric values. First make sure that indicator-multiload is installed:
sudo apt install indicator-multiload
Do the following steps:
- Search for System Load Indicator in dash and launch it.
- Right click on the indicator applet and choose Preferences.
- A window will pop up. Click on the Indicator Items... button on the lower middle portion of the window.
- Move the item CPU $(percent(cpu,inuse)) to the top of the list.
- Close all opened windows and notice the numerical CPU load displayed in the panel.
- Note that the entry is customizable. You can get creative and start mixing up different entries. For example, if you want to display memory usage as well, replace the entry with
CPU $(percent(cpu.inuse)) Mem $(size(mem.user))
, which will result in:
If it's possible to fix it somehow? Because when, for example, cpu changes from 9% to 11% (one more digit) entire line is moved. I want labels, like "CPU", "Mem" be static.

For Xubuntu, right click on the top panel (the Ubuntu name for a menu bar) and choose Panel | Add New Items | System Load Monitor. For Unity, see What can replace system monitoring in the top Gnome Panel in Unity? for five different approaches.
I tried the answers in the question you linked to. I didn't try the long python script, but there's nothing that displays a percentage in the menu bar. All I can get is the graph. Is it that hard to get a percentage? I would think that the graph is harder.
