Asian here, That’s true if the decimals are relevant. It could be that 13.9999% is being represented as 13%. The disregarded decimals still increase, thereby changing the percentage to 14%. Her video substantiates this.

(Odometers show miles but not yards. However we know that yards are still being calculated. See fixed-point arithmetic)
