Yes, the cent sign (¢) typically goes to the left of the amount it represents, similar to how dollar signs are positioned. For example, 50¢ indicates 50 cents. However, in some contexts, especially in informal writing, people might write it after the amount, but the standard convention is to place it on the left.

Where does the cent sign go?
At the end of your number value. The cent sign goes after the number. And be sure not to confuse things by putting a decimal point in the amount! When there's a $ sign, use the decimal to separate the cents part of the amount. If you only have cents and no dollars, leave off the decimal point because it changes the amount's value by a factor of 100. A lot of people make that mistake and it can be very costly. For example, writing 0.50¢ does NOT mean 50 cents, it means a half a cent!! If you're really hung up on decimal points, write the amount as $0.50
