All you have to do is divide 20 into 14 and move the decimal point two places to the right: 70 percent is the answer.

This is the same as finding the common denominator of fractions - in percentages, the denominator is 100 - 50% is 50/100 - so, 20 times 5 equals 100, 14 times 5 equals 70 - therefore, 14 is 70% of 20 - easy, yes?

The easy way to do this in your head is to simplify the equation by dividing both numbers by two. The question then becomes, what percent 7 is of 10. That's easy 7/10 = .70, which is 70 percent.

Use a calculator and type in 14 / 20.
Or you can do it mentally by multiplying 14 by 5 which is 70.
