The whole-number part, 12, is the part left of the decimal point.
The position first right of the decimal point is the tenths place;
the position second right of the decimal point is the hundredths place.
We can't write "14" in the single-column hundredths place. And in fact, 10 hundredths (10/100) is the same as one tenth (1/10), so we can write a "1" in the first position right of the decimal point to stand for the ten-hundredths portion of fourteen hundredths (10 of the 14 hundredths). And the remaining four hundredths (4/100) are indicated by the 4 in the hundredths place.
