American: one hundred ninety-five British: one hundred and ninety-five For 105, American style writes one hundred five; British style writes one hundred and five.
Do not write "one hundreds ninety-five". 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 195, the 95 part combines ninety and five, producing ninety-five.
Hundreds are written by placing a digit word before hundred. In 195, 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-five without adding and before the final part.
