There are two types of Ten sided die one that goes up in 10's (10, 20, 30, 40 etc) and another that goes up from 0-9. these are called percentile Dice and are ment to be roled together to calculate a randomised percentage e.g if you roled a 10 on one and a 5 on the other that's 15%.

Why does a 10 sided dice have 9 for the highest number?

Ten-sided dice are often used in games that require a "percentage roll", such as Dungeons & Dragons. Players roll two 10-sided dice, and the numbers rolled are used as digits to form a number between 0 and 99. Using a "0" instead of "10" simplifies this process. For most other games and instances, zeroes on ten-sided dice represent tens. Just FYI - some ten-sided dice do actually have a "10" instead of a "0", but they're fairly rare. I got 4 of them in a board game called Filthy Rich, which - ironically enough - uses numerous references to rolling zeroes instead of tens. Go figure.
