Saying percentage
Hello everyone,
A. Could you please tell me if saying/writing out the percentage "33.32 percent" is correct as follows?
1. Thirty-three and thirty two hundredths of a percent
2. Thirty three and thirty two hundredths percent
33.3 percent
3. Thirty three and three tenths of a percent.
33.1 percent
4. Thirty three and one tenths of a percent
B. Could you tell me if the hyphen between the first two numbers is optional before the decimal point?
Sorry, I need someone to help me to know if my ways to write out those percentages are OK.
Regards,
