A decimal is a number that isn't a whole number. Its has a point between the extra bit of the number and the whole number. In primary school you might of just put remainder. A percentage is a number out of 100. You could put this number as a denominator of a fraction over 100. 25% can also be known as 1/4. 50% can also be known as 1/2. 75% can also be know as 3/4.
Ratio is very difficult to explain. But I'll try my best. Think of it like a recipe. If the recipe has 2 cups of sugar but 3 cups of flour and you want to make triple the amount, you always have to have 3 lots of flour for 2 lots of sugar.
I hope you understand it now. And i hope I've not mucked this all up. Please forgive me. I'm only 12 =S
