8.2.1 Writing Dollars and Cents

When writing a check, you must write the amount of the check in numbers and words. If there is a discrep-

ancy between the amount written in numbers and the amount written in words, the bank honors what is

written in words. For example, for a check for $69.34, you would write 69.34 after the dollar sign and on

the next line would write out “Sixty-nine and 34/100.”

How would the following amounts be written in words on a check?

1. $72.00 _____
