Is it correct to say one hundred and twenty-five or one hundred twenty-five?

Question

In written or spoken english, which form is correct? Do you use the word "and" to separate the numbers or is it unacceptable? For instance, is one hundred and twenty-five correct or is it one hundred twenty-five?

Answer 1

I believe either way is acceptable...and I'm pretty conservative :)

Answer 2

Saying the number without the 'and' is an American thing only. In UK and here in Australia, we would use the 'and' - which I am sure is the way it really should be said:
'One hundred and twenty-five'

Answer 3

Either way is acceptable, however when I write a check, I write
One hundred twenty five and no/100 ----. It would fill up the line if I added AND. Like I said either way is perfectly acceptable.

Answer 4

One hundred and twenty-five is the way you say it / write it.

Answer 5

It should be "one hundred and twenty-five". This is what we have learned in school.

Answer 6

one hundred and twenty five

Answer 7

one hundred and twenty five

Answer 8

one hundred twenty five

Answer 9

The one with and is British English and the other is American.

Answer 10

when you say and when refering to math it stands for the decimal point one hundred twenty "AND" seventy means $120.70

Answer 11

If I say it, I put the "and" in there. But if I write it I wouldn't. What ever your preferance is. I don't think that there is any real right or wrong with that.
