To find the percentage of movies that are appropriate for all ages, you can use the following formula:
\[
\text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{\text{Number of appropriate movies}}{\text{Total number of movies}} \right) \times 100
\]
In this case, the number of appropriate movies (rated G) is 3, and the total number of movies is 14. Plugging in these numbers gives:
\[
\text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{3}{14} \right) \times 100
\]
Calculating this:
\[
\frac{3}{14} \approx 0.2143
\]
Now multiplying by 100 to convert to a percentage:
\[
0.2143 \times 100 \approx 21.43
\]
Therefore, approximately 21.43% of the movies shown at the local movie theater are appropriate for all ages. Rounding this to the nearest whole number gives approximately **21%**.
