They both are the correct answer its just rounding up and when you turn in your homework some teachers would perfer you to use 15 to know that you can do math well and know how to round up.
When rounding numbers if the number is 5 or more it is rounded up to the next column, if the number is 4 or less it is dropped. So 0.5 would round up and add 1 to the next column, so the correct answer would be 15%.

If the problem asks for a precise answer and the book alternatives are given as percentages, then neither 14 percent nor 15 percent would be the correct answer. The correct answer would be 14.5 percent. However, if the problem does not specify a need for a precise answer, and rounded percentages are acceptable, then either 14 percent or 15 percent could be considered correct depending on the rounding method being used.
