Its probably easier if you see percentage as a fraction (always with a denominator of 100) this puts it in the same area as other commonly used fractions such as one half, one quarter etc.

how you compare decimals and percents, is by the signs. a decimal looks like this: 0.0 and a percent looks like this: %
I'll answer assuming you meant percent. Percents are the ratio of a number or fraction to 100, so 2% is 2 to 100. If you compare 29 and 1000 and you want to compare it through percents, convert 1000 to 100 by obviously dividing by 10. So, 29 / 1000 is 2.9%.
It is easier to understand rates of changes as percents, sometimes, than as a fraction. Such as the stock market fell 70%Also, you can compare percents and fractions are a little harder to compare. For example you got 91 percent right on your test and your friend took a similar test with twice as many problems and got 83% right. It is easy to compare the percents.There are many other reasons!
What do we call a chart that helps compare facts and numbers or quantities
Write them as decimals, and compare. If the first digit of two numbers is equal, compare the second digit; if the second digit is equal, compare the third digit, etc.
