The term ratio means the relative amount of some specific item in relationship to some other item, such as, (and I'm going to make up these numbers) a ratio between men and women librarians. Let us say that there are 10,000 librarians, and 8,000 of them are women, with 2,000 therefore being men. The ratio of 8,000 to 2,000 simplifies to 4 to 1. That's the ratio. If you choose to express this in terms of how many out of a hundred, you then have a percentage. Out of every 5 librarians, 1 is male and 4 are female, so one fifth are male, and as a percentage, that is 20%. The percentage of female librarians would therefore be 80%.
