To find the odd numbers between 1 and 500, we note that they range from 1 to 499. There are 250 odd numbers in this range. Typing each odd number requires the same number of keystrokes as the number of digits in the number, which is either 1 digit (for 1-9), 2 digits (for 11-99), or 3 digits (for 101-499). The total keystrokes can be calculated as follows: 9 (1-9) + 90 (11-99) + 399 (101-499) = 498 keystrokes.
25 digits
There are 5 numbers of 1 digit, 25 numbers of 2 digits, and 75 numbers of 3 digits. This makes 105 numbers in all.
