Answer: 80% of the faculty is female

Explanation:

To find the percentage of the faculty that is female, we need to first determine how many faculty members are female.

Number of female faculty members = Total faculty members - Number of male faculty members

Number of female faculty members = 70 - 14

Number of female faculty members = 56

Now we can calculate the percentage of the faculty that is female by dividing the number of female faculty members by the total faculty members and multiplying by 100.

Percentage of female faculty members = (Number of female faculty members / Total faculty members) x 100

Percentage of female faculty members = (56 / 70) x 100

Percentage of female faculty members = 0.8 x 100

Percentage of female faculty members = 80%

Therefore, 80% of the faculty at this school is female.
