"Percent" - For details read the explanation given below.
Ratios represented by Fractions can be compared only if they share a common denominator, which is not often. This need for a common denominator to compare ratios and fractions gave rise to the concept of percent (cent meaning hundred). An equivalent representation of all the ratios with a common denominator of 100 would make them easily comparable, and such representations with a common denominator got abbreviated by just the numerators being written followed by %, which is the sign allocated to "percent". In this manner percentages compare numbers in the numerator to 100 and the ratio that compares a number to 100 is logically called percent.

Any number of percent is the ratio of that number to 100.
it depends on the number, but if that number was represented by x, then it would be x:100 or x/100. a ratio is the same as division.
Multiply both numbers of the ratio, 5:6, by any non-zero number. You will have an equivalent ratio.
The number, in the form of a ratio, is 18/100.
The number, in the form of a ratio, is 21/100.
