Writing it out is more professional to me. You know, as in, "sixty dollars" and "sixty-two."

Yeah, college essays call for formalities.

Generally speaking, if it's over 1000 for any number, you can type it out. I mean, how much of a pain would it be to write "one hundred fifty-two thousand seven hundred eighty-six"?
Anything under 100, for sure, should be written in its entirety. |
