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.
