14% because 14/100 is 0.14 and then multiply by 100 and you get 14 and add the percent sign.

The fraction that we have from this information is 14/100 this is an easy fraction to turn into a percentage it is 14%.
If you're trying to work out a percentage from a fraction in the future all you have to do it divide the top by the bottom and multiply by 100. Hope that answers your question!
