112 people are attending the concert.

14 children represent 12.5% of the total number of people attending the concert. To find how many people are attending in total, you can set up a proportion:

14 (children) / x (total number of people) = 12.5% / 100%

Solving for x:
14 / x = 12.5 / 100
14x = 12.5 * x
14x = 12.5x
1.5x = 14
x = 14 / 1.5
x = 112

Therefore, the total number of people attending the concert is 112.
