Hint: In this problem, we have to find the percent of 35 in 14. Here we have to find the percent for the given number and the total number. We know that, we can find the number by dividing the given number by the total number and multiplying it with 100. Here we have 35 as the total number and 14 as the given number, we can substitute in the formula for the final answer. We can now find it in the following steps.

Complete step-by-step solution:
Here we have to find the percent of 35 is 14.
Here we can see that the given number is 14 and the total number is 35.
We know that,
\[Percent=\dfrac{\text{Number}}{\text{Total number}}\times 100\]
Here we can substitute the given values and find the percentage for it,
\[\Rightarrow Percent=\dfrac{14}{35}\times 100\]
We can now find the value of Percent by simplifying the above step.
We can first divide 14 and 35 and we can multiply it with 100, we get
\[\Rightarrow Percent=0.4\times 100\]
We can now multiply 100 on the above step, we get
\[\Rightarrow Percent=40.0\]
Here we have moved the decimal one point to the left.
Therefore, the 14 percent of 35 is \[40\%\]

Note: Students make mistakes while finding the number from the given percentage. We should always remember that we can find the number by multiplying the given percentage and the total number and then divide by hundred, as we should remember that \[Percent=\dfrac{\text{Number}}{\text{Total number}}\times 100\], this percentage formula to find the required number we are asked for.
