Would you support (without recasting) my hyphenated examples below exactly as written and punctuated for the compound modifiers before the nouns?
• a $4-million-to-$5-million-a-year savings
• a $75,000-to-$80,000-a-year increase in spending
• a 65-to-75-cent-a-week deduction
• a 30-to-40-percent-a-year reduction across the board
And, if we use the % symbol, does this look okay?
• a 30-to-40%-a-year reduction across the board
This is not homework; it is sheer inquisitiveness.
Thank you.
