The only numbers below 300 must be in the one hundreds so the first digit must be 1.
The second digit can be 1, 3, 5, 7 or 9.
Five numbers with a second digit of 1 have an odd third digit.
Five numbers with a second digit of 3 have an odd third digit.
Five numbers with a second digit of 5 have an odd third digit.
Five numbers with a second digit of 7 have an odd third digit.
Five numbers with a second digit of 9 have an odd third digit.
So the total is 25 numbers.
