Find the number of two-digit natural numbers such that the tens digit is greater than the units digit.
=================================
Starting with the tens, only 10 has the tens digit > the units digit
For the twenties, we have 20 and 21 [two numbers]
For the thirties, we have 30, 31 and 32 [three numbers] etc.
So the total is 1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9=45 numbers
