another possibility, requiring amsmath is this:

\[ \frac{\text{Actual Value of Production}}{\text{Demand}} \times 100 \]

since it's unlikely to be embedded in text, using "display" coding is preferable to the inline $...$ input.

warning: \text will follow the style of the surrounding text, so if this is included within the statement of a theorem, it will be set in italic. in such a situation, it's better to use \textrm.
