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%**.
