In English, I would say "thirty-five point seventy-one" or "thirty-five point seven one." Are there different ways to say this in Spanish? And what's the shortest?

"treinta y cinco punto setenta y uno"
in Spain a comma is used (35,71) and is usually "treinta y cinco con setenta y una centésimas" (or simply "...con setenta y uno)

In Spanish you use a comma, not a point, to indicate decimals or fractions.

So it should be treinta y cinco coma setenta y uno (35,71)

And rememeber that the point is used is Spanish to indicate thousands (like commas in English), so 5,000 is five thousands in English but becomes five point zero in Spanish, and 5.000 is five point zero in English but becomes five thousand in Spanish

For decimals we use commas in Spain and we read your number like this: "treinta y cinco COMA setenta y uno" or "treinta y cinco CON setenta y uno".

Treinta-y-cinco punto setenta y uno,
-or-
Treinta-y-cinco punto siete uno.

The first one would be the most grammatically proper.

They use the same numbers we do, so just use 35.71
