    You have written your check incorrectly at the most important line.. After the numerical amount of $120.50 on the line below is where this number is written out in word form. This is the important reference that the bank uses to verify the numerical amount, and what is referred to if the numerical is not clear. You wrote one hundred and twenty------50/100. You should have written one hundred twenty and 50/100------- When we write a number in word form, the “and” replaces the decimal point.

    I know this is a few years old, but it's wrong how you have it.
    Should be 120.50 as ONE HUNDRED TWENTY and 50/100 then a line. Not ONE HUNDRED "and" TWENTY. That AND is going to cause issues at the bank when they process it. The "and" is for the decimal point.

    do you put 50 over 100 no matter what on every check?

    • @sallyjaydnew
      @sallyjaydnew Před 8 lety

      +Josh Jr only for 50 cents would be 50 of 100 cents... 100 cent =1 dollar. This is the fraction to equal "DOLLAR" which is written on the end of the line.............. So for 32 cents it would be 32/100 because you would be 32 cents out of a dollar or 32 cents out of 100 cents ALSO If 1 cent would be 01/100 put the "0" so someone can't change it to 91or it would change it to 91 cents. ..................... SIDE NOTE!!!! The "and" between the one hundred AND twenty should NOT be there this is wrong for $120.50 it should be written ONE HUNDRED TWENTY AND 50/100-------------------------------dollar

    • @sallyjaydnew
      @sallyjaydnew Před 8 lety

      50/100 would be 50 cents out 100 cent or 1 dollar. If you were writing 32 cents it would be 32/100 if you were 1 cent it would be wrote 01/100 so no one can change it to 91/100 which would be 91 cents So the ??/100 would be the percent % of the dollar... Side note the "and" in the written is wrong it should be wrote one hundred twenty and 50/100-------------Dollars

    • @MrKiet76
      @MrKiet76 Před 8 lety +1

      If you're making a check for $15.50 or $20.50 and so on so forth then yes! Or $12.35 would be 35/100
