or does it merely depend on the context in which the number is used. for example in writing a check or reading a word problem in a math book?

One hundred one. If the number is less than a whole, then you use and.
One hundred and 1/2

almost all individuals, and many Britons, say Fifteen Hundred, as a effect that's fairly perfect in speech, yet Britons have a tendency to bottle out above 2 thousand and say 2 Thousand the place an American might say Twentyfive Hundred. in the journey that your financial business enterprise accepts your cheque written as Fifteen Hundred then that's all there is to it. Language differences, and varies from united states to united states, what became 'incorrect' 2 hunderd years in the past is usual now, even interior the main subtle circles.

Techincally, it's "one hundred one". In upper level math courses/jobs who use higher math, "one hundred and one" could also mean that there's a decimal point at the word "and". However in everyday usage, it's correct- people know what you're talking about. However, in proper speech and writings, say 'one hundred one'.

In "proper" English it's one hundred one; however, common usage permits "one hundred and one" or even "a hundred and one."

one hundred one, even when writting a check, it is "and" only for a fraction to show the parts of 100 to represent the cents.

one hundred one. After all, you wouldn't say fifty and five - you say fifty-five. You wouldn't say three hundred and ten, neither would you say one hundred and one - especially in writing
