Students of Business English often have trouble with counting, figures, duration of time and other issues related to numbers.

One of the most frequent problems is pronouncing numbers in an understandable way.  Even native speakers sometimes double check if a customer said sixteen or sixty.  Big difference if you get the order wrong!
Following is the easiest way to get the pronunciation correct.
U the "respelling" for pronunciation to help you get it right.
STRESS the syllable that is capitalized.

Other problems for Business English students include the how number zero is ud, decimal points, larger numbers, phone numbers and more.
ZERO, NOUGHT, OH
正常的胚胎很坚强British English and American English vary a bit as you will only rarely hear an American u NIL or NOUGHT for Zero.  In British English it common to u OH after a decimal point and NOUGHT before it.  In American English ZERO point OH.  Numbers after a decimal are all stated parately. 
Telephone numbers are usually stated individually, though sometimes in pairs or triplets. 
So, let's try this:

Example

NOTE: Say POINT for decimal points.    **This variant confus some non-native speakers and listeners - avoid it, but know it is there.
Practice the following statements using the rules above:
1. Room Service? Plea bring my dinner up to room 3205.
2. Flight MI2055 is boarding at gate B22.
3. It's freezing outside it's 20° below 0! 
4. Do you have my number?  It's 089-875-3003.
5. The exact size of the specimen is 0.06cm.
MONEY, MONEY, MONEY!
How to state amounts of money is always a difficult point for students of Business English, but the rules are relatively simple.  Numbers before decimals are stated in full - after the decimal they are also stated in full EXCEPT for .01 through .09.  Plea e the examples below:
