    Total no. of teas served: 20

    Therefore, we can write the two quantities as fractions of twenty:

    14/20 and 6/20

    A percentage is "per-cent", i. e. per 100, therefore a fraction of 100. To make this denominator a fraction of 100 we multiply it by 5 (20 x 5 = 100), and because what we do to the bottom of the fraction we must do to the top, we multiply each numerator by 5:

    14/20; 14 x 5 = 70

    6/20; 6 x 5 = 30

    So,

    70/100, 30/100

    Answer: 70% of the teas sold were caffeinated.
