Money question

u can say twenty point seventy five

Hi Adonis

adonis1013How can I pronounce 20.75.
twenty and seventy-five or twenty dollars and seventy-five cents or aonther alternative expression?

I'd say the most likely response would be this: "Twenty seventy-five". It is also possible to say "twenty dollars and seventy-five cents".

We would not say "twenty and seventy-five"

$2,500,000 = "Two million five hundred thousand dollars" - OR - "Two point five million dollars".

If I was looking at 60" flat-panel TVs, I would never, ever think it was $20.75.

It's actually rather rare to say the words "dolla
