Your friend says that 14.5% is equivalent to the decimal 14.5. Explain why your friend is incorrect by comparing the fractional equivalents of 14.5% and 14.5.                                 (PLEASE I NEED HELP)

This friend is incorrect because 14.5℅ means 14.5/100 and 14.5 is more than a whole number.
