How to count the numbers 70-79 in Mandarin Chinese?

Do you remember how to say 10 in Chinese?
shí (十) = 10

When you say 70 in Chinese, you just say the small number 7 plus 10, that refers to 70.
qīshí (七十) = 70 : qī 7 + shí 10

When you say 71-79, you just say the big number 70, plus 1-9, the small number.
71-79 : qīshí 70 + small number 1-9

So, let’s count the numbers 70-79.

qīshí (七十) = 70 : qī 7 + shí 10
qīshíyī (七十一) = 71 : qīshí 70 ＋yī 1
qīshí’èr (七十二) = 72 : qīshí 70 ＋èr 2
qīshísān（七十三） = 73 : qīshí 70 + sān 3
qīshísì（七十四） = 74 : qīshí 70 + sì 4
qīshíwǔ（七十五） = 75 : qīshí 70 + wǔ 5
qīshíliù（七十六）= 76 : qīshí 70 + liù 6
qīshíqī（七十七） = 77 : qīshí 70 + qī 7
qīshíbā（七十八） = 78 : qīshí 70 + bā 8
qīshíjiǔ（七十九） = 79 : qīshí 70 + jiǔ 9
