No longer a dunce. Well done !!

The teacher was asking tricky questions in her class.

Most of them had done well in their exams and secured a pass.

"How many times can you subtract ten  from a hundred?"

All the answers were incorrect,they'd truly blundered.

But the correct answer came from the class dunce. 

"The next time you would be taking ten from ninety.So once !"

Ah...tricky. A multiple of ten taken from a hundred could be the wording of the question.that gets the answer we might be tempted to supply.?
