According to the information given, people with type B and AB blood can receive transfusions of type B blood.

So, the percentage of people who can receive transfusions of type B blood is the sum of the percentage of people with type B and AB blood, which is:

10% + 4% = 14%

Therefore, 14% of people can receive transfusions of type B blood.
