I would claim the FP way is like this:
-- | Repeatedly subtract values from a baseline, returning a list
-- containing each intermediate result
diff :: Int -> [Int] -> [Int]
diff = scanl (-)
Prelude> diff 100 [1..10]
[100,99,97,94,90,85,79,72,64,55,45]
-k
--
If I haven't seen further, it is by standing in the footprints of giants
