What percent of the perfect squares that are less than 1000 are odd numbers
===========================================================
The highest perfect square less than 1000 is +31%5E2+=+961+ ( +32%5E2+=+1024+ )
So we have to consider the squares of:
0, 1,2,…, 31 (16 odds, 16 evens)
That's 16 odd numbers and 16 even numbers, the perfect squares of odd numbers are odd, those of even numbers are even, so the percentage that are odd is 50%

Ans: +50+ % of the perfect squares less than 1000 are odd.
