Why are there more tens than hundreds?

There are not more tens. The cardinality ("count") of the set of tens is exactly the same as the cardinality of the set of hundreds. The mapping f(x) = 10x where x is a multiple of 10 is bijective. Consequently, its domain and range are of the same "size". The words "count" and "size" are in quotation marks because the relevant values are infinite.
