Usage notes
When used as an adjective before the modified noun, the apocopate form (Cien) is used instead of (Ciento). In composite numbers, the form (Cien) is used before larger numbers components, (Ciento) before smaller numbers.
- cien mil pesos — “a hundred thousand pesos” ($100,000)
- ciento noventa pesos — “a hundred ninety pesos” ($190)
When used substantively to indicate the number 100 itself, (Cien) is more common in modern usage:
- los números de uno hasta el cien — “the numbers from one to a hundred”
- hay dos cienes en el papel — “there are two hundreds on the paper” (two occurrences of the number one hundred)
In the indefinite sense, (Ciento) is used:
- cientos de pesos — “hundreds of pesos”
To indicate percentages, (Ciento) is usually used, with regional exceptions, especially for 100%:
- cincuenta por ciento — “fifty percent”
- cien por cien — “a hundred percent”
- ciento por ciento — “a hundred percent”
