Which spelling details matter here?
Compound numbers from 21 through 99 join the tens word and the ones word with a hyphen. In 5,489, the 89 part combines eighty and nine, producing eighty-nine. Hundreds are written by placing a digit word before hundred. In 5,489, the hundreds part is four hundred. American English usually omits and after hundred when more digits follow. That is why this page writes five thousand four hundred eighty-nine without adding and before the final part. English reads large numbers in three-digit groups. 5,489 reaches the thousand group, so the group five is followed by the scale name thousand. Scale names stay singular inside exact number names. English writes five thousand without adding a plural s to the scale name.
