Suggested Money Lesson Plan
for this Worksheet When writing a check, you must write the
amount of the check in numbers and words.
For example, for a check for $152.31, you would
write 152.31 after the dollar sign, and on the next line would write out "One
hundred fifty-two and 31/100"
NOTE: You should check to make sure
that the numbers written out in long-hand match the numbers written on the box
on the check. Often, bank employees only look at the long-hand numbers,
and ignore the numbers written in the box, so be careful.
A common mistake related to this is an amount
such as $100.52 is incorrectly written as One-hundred fifty-two instead
of One-hundred and 52/100. If you do this, the larger amount may be
deducted from your account.
