How to communicate money in spanish?
Sorry, I didn't know how to phrase that differently.
What I mean is how do you say something like "five dollars and thirty five cents" if you're a vendor to a customer. In English you would say "five thirty five". In spanish, is it "cinco treinta y cinco"? |

Cinco treinta y cinco (centavos).
Cinco coma treinta y cinco (centavos). Cinco con treinta y cinco (centavos). Dollar cents = Centavos Euro cents = Céntimos |

"Centavo", "céntimo" and "centésimo" are common translations for "cent", and many (but not all) Spanish speaking countries use one of these names as the official name for 1/100th of the primary unit of currency. You need to learn which one individually for each country or region. This wikipedia article identifies some of them:
Centavo = 1/100th of: Argentine peso, Bolivian boliviano, Cuban peso, Mexican peso, Phillipine peso, and US dollar in those countries or territories that use it as an official or extra-official currency (Puerto Rico, El Salvador, Ecuador, Panama). Céntimo = 1/100th of: European euro, Peruvian nuevo sol Centésimo = 1/100th of: Panamanian balboa, Uruguayan peso |
