Hint: In this question we are provided with the fraction and we have to transform it into percentage. Simple way of doing this is to make the denominator equal to 100 by multiplying and dividing with the same number and then multiplying the whole with 100.
Complete step-by-step solution:
Given fraction,
$
  \dfrac{{14}}{{20}} \\
$
Multiplying and dividing it by 5, we get
$
  {\text{ = }}\dfrac{{14 \times 5}}{{20 \times 5}} \\
   = \dfrac{{70}}{{100}} \\
$
Multiplying whole number by 100
$
 {\text{ = }}\dfrac{{70}}{{100}} \times 100 \\
   = 70{\raise0.5ex\hbox{$\scriptstyle 0$}
\kern-0.1em/\kern-0.15em
\lower0.25ex\hbox{$\scriptstyle 0$}} \\
$
Therefore, the answer is 70%.

Note: Ratio is the result of one number or quantity divided by another. Ratios are the simplest mathematical (statistical) tools that reveal significant relationships hidden in mass of data, and allow meaningful comparisons. Simple way of conversion of ratio into percentage is making the denominator 100.
