Reading

さんびゃく
  • Kyoko
    (Tokyo accent, female)
  • Kenichi
    (Tokyo accent, male)

Explanation

The reading is a little bit weird, so be careful. You should already know the on'yomi readings, but the ひゃく rendakus to びゃく. This pattern will repeat itself with + many counter kanjis that can rendaku, so pay attention for it as you read Japanese.
