Answered by wajahatkincsem

There were about a hundred boys in the meeting today.

Why did we use 'a' before 'hundred?'

If there is a quantitative number mentioned before 'hundred,' we do not add 's.'
Example: There are 10 hundred people on the ground.
Both 'a' hundred' and 'one' hundred' are correct because both have the same meaning.
'A hundred' is more frequently used in English grammar.
