To find the percentage of questions Taub answered correctly, we can follow these steps:
- Calculate the number of questions answered correctly.
- Use the number of correctly answered questions to find the percentage.
First, Taub missed 14 questions out of a total of 200 problems. To find out how many questions she answered correctly, we subtract the number of questions missed from the total number of questions:
\[ \text{Questions answered correctly} = 200 - 14 = 186 \]
Next, we calculate the percentage of questions answered correctly by using the formula:
\[ \text{Percentage of correct answers} = \left( \frac{\text{Questions answered correctly}}{\text{Total questions}} \right) \times 100 \]
Plugging in the numbers:
\[ \text{Percentage of correct answers} = \left( \frac{186}{200} \right) \times 100 \]
Calculating the fraction:
\[ \frac{186}{200} = 0.93 \]
Now, converting this to a percentage:
\[ 0.93 \times 100 = 93% \]
Thus, the percentage of questions Taub answered correctly is:
\[ \boxed{93%} \]
