Can someone help me with a quick grammar question?

Asked by weeveeship (4665points) July 16th, 2011

Should there be a hyphen between the twenty and the dollar in the following sentence:

XYZ sent ABC a weekly invoice that reflected a twenty dollar hourly charge plus a thirty percent profit markup on materials used.

P.S. Would it be “twenty dollar hourly charge” or “twenty dollars hourly charge”?
