Example: 10 is 50% of 20. This statement is comparing10 to 20 using percentage as the means of comparison. We could also say 20 is 200% of 10.
If we were using fractions, the comparison would have been 10 = 1/2 of 20 or 20 = 2 times 10.
Another comparison could simpl be 20 is 10 more than 10, or 10 is 10 less than 20.
get the idea?

A comparison statement compares things. The statement may discuss both similarities and differences between them.

compare=smaller,bigger,same
percentage=from Latin: per cento,means "for a hundred"
example:
5% means the fifth part of one hundred
a comparation statement means exactelly as it sounds:compare[means see if they are different{and how-bigger,smaller} or the same[=]]
a comparation statement in percentage
example:
a father has 10000$
he wants to return a debt of 2000$ and the rest shares between his two sons.
so,the bigger percent of the money is givven to familly,
the smoller is used for a payment
the sons share equall percent of money
also we say:
20% is for debt
80% for familly
each son has 40% of the money[50% from the money that remained for the familly]
