Let's assume x is the cost of one pencil.
From the given information, we can create the equation 4x = $1.90.
To solve for x, we divide both sides of the equation by 4:
x = $1.90/4 = $0.475.
Now we can find the cost of 14 pencils by multiplying the cost of one pencil by 14:
14 * $0.475 = $6.65.
Therefore, the cost of 14 pencils is $6.65.
