Answer:

a rate is a special type of ratio that compares 2 DIFFERENT quantities while a ratio is a comparison of 2 quantities BY DIVISION

a percentage is a rate, number, or amount in each hundred.

Explanation

u can see percentages in stores like 30% off. If the price of the product is $2.99 you have to multiply 2.99 by 30% equal 0.3, then do 2.99 - 0.3 = $2.69

a rate is this 200\5 = 40\1

a ratio is this 3 to 4 or 5 for every 3

hope you understand
