CA in a hurry, Hey Thump- where does the decimal point go?

[Gordon Holley]

Hi Gordon, have been following this thread and when I came to your statement

"Around here, where money is tight, I charge 4350

I'm wondering where the decimal point goes in the 4350?.  Is it $4350.00, or
$430.50, no doubt not $43.50.  Would appreciate your responce.
