Do not write "one hundreds ninety-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 194, the 94 part combines ninety and four, producing ninety-four.
Hundreds are written by placing a digit word before hundred. In 194, 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 ninety-four without adding and before the final part.
