Every percent is a ratio but not all ratios are percents. All ratios can be expressed as percents, decimals, or fractions or in ratio form.

Step-by-step explanation:

A percent is a comparison between a portion of 100 and 100. Because a ratio is a comparison of like quantities, a percent is a ratio. However, ratios can be expressed as decimals, fractions, and in ratio form too. So while every ratio can be a percent, they aren't automatically percents.
