140

Explanation:

10% can be written as the ratio #10/100#
If 14 is 10% of the number we are trying to solve for (x) we can rewrite that as #14/x#.
When we set these two equations equal to one another, we get #14/x=10/100#. Using cross multiplication we can find that 1400=10x. When we divide both sides by 10 we find that x=140
