GCSE-readyNumbers to 100 and prices
Numbers above 60 work differently in French: 70 is sixty-ten and 80 is four twenties. Learn them and use them for prices.
30 to 69
31, 41, 51 and 61 use et: trente et un, quarante et un, cinquante et un, soixante et un.
The others use a hyphen: trente-deux, quarante-cinq, cinquante-huit, soixante-neuf.
70 to 100
| Number | French | How it works |
|---|---|---|
| 70 | soixante-dix | 60 + 10 |
| 71 | soixante et onze | 60 + 11 |
| 75 | soixante-quinze | 60 + 15 |
| 80 | quatre-vingts | 4 x 20 |
| 81 | quatre-vingt-un | 4 x 20 + 1 (no et, no s) |
| 90 | quatre-vingt-dix | 4 x 20 + 10 |
| 99 | quatre-vingt-dix-neuf | 4 x 20 + 19 |
| 100 | cent |
Prices
French writes a comma for decimals: 4,50 € = quatre euros cinquante.
C'est combien ? / Ça coûte combien ? = How much is it? Ça fait trente euros. = That comes to thirty euros.
Write the price 75 € in French words.
- 75 = 60 + 15.
- 60 = soixante, 15 = quinze, joined with a hyphen.
- Add euros.
Answer: soixante-quinze euros
70 = soixante-dix, 71 = soixante et onze, 80 = quatre-vingts, 81 = quatre-vingt-un, 90 = quatre-vingt-dix, 100 = cent. Prices: 4,50 € = quatre euros cinquante.
- Not “soixante-dix-un”. French counts 60 + 11, not 70 + 1.
- Not “quatre-vingt-dix-cinq”. After 80, French adds 15, not 10 + 5.
- Not “quatre-vingt-onze”. Quatre-vingt-onze is 91.
