Actually electric pianos did not replace acoustic pianos. There are literally millions of acoustic pianos in the united states alone, and more being bought every week. I personally see about 1000 pianos a year because I work as a piano tuner/technician. Electric pianos do come in handy for traveling to gigs, but acoustic pianos are very much alive and well.

How would say the piano and electric piano are alike?
Electric pianos (aka digital pianos) are instruments that reproduce the sound made by acoustic pianos. Pianos produce their unique sound by the action of a felted hammers hitting strings of various lengths. Digital pianos replicate this sound with oscillators and speakers. Electric pianos and acoustic pianos are alike in that they have the same keyboard of 88 black and white keys, they produce a similar sound (though not identical), and they can be played in the same manner, especially if the digital piano has weighted keys and a damper pedal.

Electronic piano or percussion piano?
Electronic pianos are usually least expensive, but they don't have the rich, warm and subtle nuance and sound that a acoustic (or as you say percussion) piano can make. Usually, good electronic pianos range from 1,000 to 2,000$, medium end straight acoustic pianos range from 3,000 to 7,000 while high end go up to 14,000 - 17,000$ and good grand pianos go from 8,000 to 20,000$ and the most expensive concert pianos can go upward a 100,000$. Even though the electric pianos are cheaper it is worth spending a bit more for a percussion piano. (Minor detail: when you learn off a percussion piano you have a lot more chance of being able to tell exactly what note is being played.) There is also a completely different feel to a percussion piano that is worth getting used to.
