I'm really not sure what to do. I've been looking all over the internet for articles about this and the information is all so conflicting. Some say to spell out everything under 100, and others say not to.
I'm currently trying to write a chapter where and underage boy goes to a casino. Age and money are both mentioned. Should I spell out age, but leave money as numbers.
---------------
The bouncer stopped him. "You have to be at least twenty-one to get in here. Don't waste your money, kid."
The boy sighed. What money? He only had $25.
Then later on in the chapter he's playing cards.
There were two glasses of wine of the table.
The boy's cards were awful. 10, 3, and 2.
---------------------
Would it look bad to spell out some numbers and not others, all in the same chapter?
Thanks.
