How do you say these prices in English?

$2: two dollars
$10.75: ten seventy five dollars? (or don't need to say "dollars")
$ 8.50: eight fifty (dollars)?

Do you say "dollars" or only the number? What is the natural way to say it like a native speaker?

Answer

$2 is correct.   
$10.75: ten dollars seventy-five (cents).   
$8.50: eight fifty (most common)   
This is the most natural way.   
Hope that helps! :)

Answer

$10.75 Ten dollars, seventy five. 
$8.50   Eight dollars, fifty  . 
We don't need to say 'cents', it is understood. And sometimes we don't say 'dollars' either: $8.50    "Eight, fifty, please" 
$10.75.   That will be ten, seventy-five. /That comes (adds up to) ten, seventy-five.

Hi Kae,

Here's a video that shows you how to pronounce "dollar" like a native speaker https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=07pBRc-EGoI

1) $2 - we would say "two dollars"
2) $10.75 - we say "ten dollars and seventy-five cents." 
3) $8.50 - "eight dollars and fifty cents."

Hope this helps.
Let me know if you have any questions:)
