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). :good:
Cinco coma treinta y cinco (centavos). :good:
Cinco con treinta y cinco (centavos). :good:

Dollar cents = Centavos
Euro cents = Céntimos

:thumbsup:

"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
