4% is equivalent to 4/100 so it can be shown as a ratio as 4:100 or simplified, 1:25
Ratios basically work the same way as fractions but you have a colon between the numerator and denominator instead of a horizontal line.

4 percent is in itself a ratio. "percent" literally means "for every hundred". In other words, 4 percent is another way of saying 4 / 100. That ratio can have a 4 factored out of it, giving you 1/25
It is 33.33... %
1/4
To convert a ratio into a percent, simply multiply the numerator by 100 and then carry out the division. You may have to do a long division, though. For example, to convert the ratio three quarters: 3/4 gives 3*100/4 = 3*25 = 75% But they ratio two thirds needs long division: 2/3 = 200/3 = 66.66... %
75% as a ratio would be 3:4 (for every 4 something 3 will have...)
