How 125 is written

125 is the sum of its place values, 100 + 20 + 5, and is written one hundred twenty-five.

Its ordinal form is one hundred twenty-fifth — only the final element takes the ordinal ending — and on a check the amount line reads "One hundred twenty-five and 00/100", where 00/100 stands for zero cents.
