viyadhar85's solutions have the problem that they only do one substitution at a time, overwriting the result file on each iteration, resulting in outputfile containing inputfile with only the last replacements in the loop.

Code:
sed -e 's/^/s%/' -e 's/=/%/' -e 's/$/%g/' listfile |
sed -f - inputfile >outputfile

This creates a sed script out of the list file, and passes it to a second instance of sed. I hear some versions of sed don't accept -f - in which case you will need to use a different approach.
