The first digit is 9 or 8.
The fifth odd number you count beginning with one is 9.
Let the middle number be x.
If the first number is 8, then 8 + x + 9 = 22 => 17 + x = 22 => x = 22 - 17 = 5. then the number is 859 which approximates to 900 to to the nearest hundred.
If the number is 9, then 9 + x + 9 = 22 => 18 + x = 22 => x = 22 - 18 = 4, then the number is 949, which also approximates to 900 to the nearest hundred.

Therefore, the required number is 859 or 949.
