The comma boundary separates 35 from 201: “thirty-five thousand” is read before “two hundred one”.
The tens position contains zero. It preserves place value in the numeral but adds no spoken word.
The spelling contains one hyphen. Each hyphen joins a tens word to a non-zero ones word inside the same two-digit group.
The American English style used here normally omits “and” between “hundred” and the following tens or ones.
