Make a list! Alternatively, when the list seems long, try
to see a pattern so that you don’t have to count every
single number. First, which numbers between 9 and 99
have an even tens digit? All the 20s, 40s, 60s, and 80s.
Now just look at the 20s. How many of those have odd
units (ones) digits? That would be 21, 23, 25, 27, and
29, which makes five numbers. It is the same for the
40s, 60s, and 80s, so the final answer is 5 × 4 = 20.
