Answer: $" "20%$

Explanation:

You need to use the following equation:

$"% change" = "change (increase or decrease)"/"the original" times 100%$

The difference between the two marks is $14$ . His original mark was $70$ . This means we divide $14$ by $70$ , and multiply by $100%$ .

We get $20%$ as our percentage increase.
