How to write 80 in words?
Writing numbers in words is essential when filling official documents or checks. But how do we write a number like 80 in words? The answer lies in understanding its place value. For the number 80, we have 8 in the tens place and 0 in the ones place.
Step 1: Begin with the leftmost digit, and assign each digit a place value as you move from left to right. For 80, we start from tens and then the ones place.
Step 2: Next, combine the values from each place and then read the values aloud. In 80, we can see that the number consists of 0 ‘ones’ and 8 ‘tens’.
Starting from the leftmost value, read the number together from left to right keeping in mind the place values. When we read it out loud, we read it as “eighty”.

Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them in 80 in Words
The following points are a few common mistakes that people make when writing numbers into words. It can get a little confusing:
Mistake 1
Not placing digits in the correct place value order.
We must always ensure that the correct place value is used. A hyphen should be used to separate tens and ones in compound numbers from twenty-one through ninety-nine.
Example:
Incorrect: Eight five
Correct: Eighty-five
Mistake 2
Removing the zero when reading the words aloud
When reading numbers like 105 or 401, people may sometimes assume that 0 needs to be omitted, which is incorrect. This will affect the pronunciation of the number. Make sure zero is included as part of the number’s place value.
Example:
Incorrect: 105 (if we omit the zero we would read it as fifteen)
Correct: 105 should be read as one hundred five
Mistake 3
Confusing similar sounding words with each other and making spelling mistakes.
There are a few numbers that have very similar sounds. We must make sure that we are clear with the pronunciation of the number. We must also make sure that when writing the numbers in words, we avoid spelling mistakes.
Example: Sixty being mistaken as sixteen. 8000 being written as eight thousand.
Mistake 4
Overuse of the word ‘and’
Overusing the word ‘and’ is a very common mistake that a lot of people make. This is common, especially in larger numbers.
Example:
Incorrect: 137 = One and hundred and thirty-seven
Correct: 137 = One hundred thirty-seven (notice the placement of ‘and’)
Mistake 5
Reading or writing the numbers in the wrong order.
When people start learning about writing numbers in words, it is possible they may struggle with the sequence of numbers. So we need to stress the importance of the place values. Begin from the largest number to the smallest number.
Example:
Incorrect: 425 = Four hundred twenty-five
Correct: 425 = Four hundred twenty-five.
