Why can't a fraction or a decimal be used instead of a percent?
Surely percents can always be expressed as fractions or decimals, but percents are useful for comparing values- percents are essentially fractions all of the same denominator so they are easier to compare. Example: which is bigger 9/20 or 88/200 ? which is bigger 45% or 44% ? The percent question is easier to answer even though the numbers are the same.

How are precents used to make comparisons?
I'll answer assuming you meant percent. Percents are the ratio of a number or fraction to 100, so 2% is 2 to 100. If you compare 29 and 1000 and you want to compare it through percents, convert 1000 to 100 by obviously dividing by 10. So, 29 / 1000 is 2.9%.
