Объясните, пожалуйста, ПОЧЕМУ. Я вообще этого не понимаю

Answer 1

D or E if we are talking about american english 'and' tends to be removed in it. It makes sense because 'and' can be seen as a synonym of plus in the mathematical sense. It is more used when you are listing or adding up numbers.  However, in UK 'and' is always used, so it literally depends on what you are teacher is looking for.

Can you explain the difference between eighty four and eighty-four

eighty-four, we use hyphens since it is the two word number but do not use it in the case of hundreds, thousands etc. example: 584= five hundred and eighty-four
