Percentages show fractions as parts of 100. For exampe 20% is 20 parts per hundred or 20/100.

Ratios are a way of comparing two or more quanties by considering the quotient of the quantities. They are written in the form, for example, as 2:1

Worksheets for earlier or later years may still be suitable for you.
