a hundred
(a) In singular. Usually a hundred (also archaic. an hundred), emphatically one hundred; in phrases expressing rate, the hundred. in (also upon, at, for) the hundred (in reckoning interest, etc.); now usually expressed by ‘per cent.’The construction (when there is any) is in Old English with gen. plural, later with of and a plural noun. In modern English this is limited to definite things (e.g. a hundred of the men, of those men, of them); except in the case of measures of quantity, e.g. a hundred of bricks, this construction is not now used before a noun standing alone (e.g. a hundred of men), but the construction in 1b is substituted. But a hundred is construed with a plural verb, e.g. a hundred of my friends were chosen; a second hundred were then enrolled.
