Decimal
Move the decimal to the right and you'll have your answer. Fourteen things are more than 2.7 things.
42.9, honey. Just round that bad boy to one decimal place and call it a day. No need to overcomplicate things, darling.
The question 'when was a decimal currency introduced' would not be answerable, because this is lost in the mists of time.However, the use of the words 'the decimal currency' indicates that the question refers to the conversion of the British pound (aka Pound Sterling) to decimal in 1971. The Brits are not known for being in a hurry to change things.
A decimal number is simply a way of representing a number in such a way that the place value of each digit is ten times that of the digit to its right. If it does not contain a fractional part then the decimal representation does not require a decimal point. So the decimal for 524 is 524 – as in the question. If you want it as a decimal fraction of some other quantity then you need to specify that second quantity.
