Do not write "one hundreds fifty-four". In exact number names, hundred stays singular.
Compound numbers from 21 through 99 join the tens word and the ones word with a hyphen. In 154, the 54 part combines fifty and four, producing fifty-four.
Hundreds are written by placing a digit word before hundred. In 154, the hundreds part is one hundred.
American English usually omits and after hundred when more digits follow. That is why this page writes one hundred fifty-four without adding and before the final part.
