Using the principle that 14.45 is less than 14.5 - then 14

Here's a primary numeracy lesson for you.😉

it seems someone rounded 14.45 to 14.5 and then to 15, it happened at our place but it got fixed

If you were rounding to 1 decimal place, the answer is 14.5. If rounding to a whole number it is certainly 14. It is not 15, as that means you round the number in 2 steps (i.e. 1st to 1 decimal place, then to the whole number), not one.
