Should I use a hyphen when writing numbers?
Yes, you should use a hyphen for compound numbers between twenty-one and ninety-nine. For example, "forty-two" or "seventy-six".
When should I use "and" in number words?
In American English, "and" is usually reserved for the decimal point (e.g., "$10.50" is "ten dollars and fifty cents"). In British English, "and" is often used after the hundred (e.g., "one hundred and twenty-three").
