The digit 1 appears in the following positions:
- In the ones place: 1, 11, 21, 31, ..., 291 (30 numbers)
- In the tens place: 10-19, 110-119, 210-219 (30 numbers each)
- In the hundreds place: 100-199 (100 numbers)
Thus, the total number of times 1 appears is:
\[
30 + 30 + 30 + 100 = 160
\]
Hence, the digit 1 is used 160 times.
