Answer by macston(5194)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! There are three cases to consider:
1)One digit numbers
2)Two digit numbers
3)three digit numbers
.
For one digit numbers, 5 are odd:1,3,5,7,9 so we add these to our total:5
.
For two digit numbers, we have five choices for the tens digit and five choices for the units digit so we add 5 x 5=25 more to our total:5+25=30
.
For three digit numbers, we only have 4 choices for the hundreds digit (numbers starting with 9 are greater than 900) and still five choices for tens and five for units so we add 4 x 5 x 5=100 to our total:30+100=130
.
ANSWER There are 130 numbers less than 900 with only odd digits.
