\(56 \times \frac{1}{4} = 14\)
so, if 14 is added to 56, then the original number increases by \(\frac{1}{4} \times 100 = 25 \) %

I'd typically just use the same approach that uchihaitachi used.
However (for "fun"), let's use the percent increase formula for this...
We start with 56 (old value)
Add 14 to get 70 (new value)
Percent increase = (100)(new - old)/old
So, percent increase = (100)(76 - 56)/56
= (100)(14)/56
= (100)(1)/4
= 100/4
= 25%
Answer: 25
