1. 20 times. 9 19 29 39 49 59 69 79 89 90, 91, 92, 93,...,99 . technically if you do not specify whole numbers then infinity.
2. 21 * 5 = 105
3. (9 * 9) + 9 + 9 + (9 / 9) = 100
2. 21 * 5 = 105
3. (9 * 9) + 9 + 9 + (9 / 9) = 100

We can use simple symmetries instead of brutal force to solve the problems.
Problem 1.
Observe: 00, 01, 02, 03, 04, ... 09, 10, 11, ... 99
The number of appearances for 0 to 9 are symmetric therefore dight 9 appears 2*100/10=20 times
Problem 2.
5*(1+2+3+4+5)=105
Problem 3.
9+9/9=10, therefore (9+9/9)(9+9/9)=100
Thanks

1) 11 nines will appear.
2) 105 dots will appear.
3) 9x9=81+9+9=99+(9/9)=100
2) 105 dots will appear.
3) 9x9=81+9+9=99+(9/9)=100
A) the digit 9 will appear once on its own
B) 105 as there is 21 on 1 so multiply by 5
C) 9 times 9 = 81
81 + 9 = 90
9 divided 9 = 1
1 + 9 = 10
90 + 10 = 100
B) 105 as there is 21 on 1 so multiply by 5
C) 9 times 9 = 81
81 + 9 = 90
9 divided 9 = 1
1 + 9 = 10
90 + 10 = 100
