thirty-five hundred
I know what this means, but I´d appreciate your ideas in the following case.
Think back to your time in high school. I don’t care when
you graduated, $3,500 is a lot of money. For these [young] kids, it was
no different. They did amazingly well pitching the parents on
the program, its value, and the structure. When it came to
price, though, they almost stuttered as it came out of their
mouths. He realized that the kids were terrified of saying a
number that big.
He set out on a mission to desensitize them to it. Before the
start of business, he’d get the kids to practice saying to each
other “thirty-five hundred.” Not “three thousand, five hundred”
but “thirty-five hundred.”
»» “That’s thirty-five hundred pillows…”
»» “That’s thirty-five hundred feathers…”
»» “That’s thirty-five hundred giraffes…”
Remember it's not “three thousand, five hundred”...
Thank you!

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Tres quinientos
Además, se corresponde con la lectura rápida característica del sector de los negocios/comercio: 3 500 = tres quinientos. Denotaría un uso coloquial de la jerga y, por lo tanto, una familiaridad con las cifras que representan grandes cantidades de dinero.
Cuesta tres quinientos
