Thank you for bringing this up Jim, I had indeed not understood the query, sorry Andrew!
We have added ‘and ‘ to the English as it is only optional in the U.S.

Bonne Continuation !

cinq cents trente

Hi Andrew, 

cinq-cent-trente = five hundred and thirty 

no -s after 'cent' if it is followed by another number but 

cinq cents euros = five hundred euros

quatre-cent-quarante = four hundred and forty 

Hope this helps!

I think all the people who have answered are missing the point. Andrew isn't asking for the answer (cinq-cent-trente), he's just pointing out the fact that the question should read, "How would you say "Five hundred and thirty (US - Five hundred thirty)"

There's no such thing as "Five hundred thirty" in English usage, which as far as I can see is the default English on the site, US usages being parenthesised as I've done with my example.
