Percentages are a way of expressing a part-to-whole relationship, often represented as a ratio or fraction out of 100. Ratios, on the other hand, compare two or more quantities, often expressed in the form of a fraction or ratio. Decimals are a way of representing fractions or ratios using a base-10 numbering system.
