Now from 70 on wards you have to remember the simple mathematical addition pattern.
like 60 + 10 = 70 (soixante-dix)
       60+ 11 = 71 (soixante et onze)
       60+ 12 =72  (soixante douze) and so on till 79.

NOTE :
80 is 4 times twenty 
i.e 4 x 20 = 80 ( quatre -vingts ). Here you should make a note that we have added 's' in vingts. 

81 is written as quatre-vingt-un . Here we have not put 's' in vingt and hyphen is put while writing. 
( remember 21,31,41,51,61,71 do not take hyphen while writing). Same pattern is followed till 89.

NOW NUMBERS FROM 90 ON WARDS :

90 can be explained as :
4 x 20  + 10 = 90 ( quatre-vingt-dix)

91 =  4 x 20 + 11 ( quatre-vingt-onze). HERE 91 also takes hyphen.
