While I'm picking on "and" -- the number 125 is spelled out as one hundred twenty-five, not one hundred and twenty-five. If you like, you can hyphenate one-hundred, but it's not necessary.
One of my old school teachers said, "Don't say 'and' until you get to the decimal point."

That's what my bosses told me too (I was working in a currency press). "Don't add an 'and' till you get to the decimal." That's the convention they follow in banking circles here.
