Add to 100
With the numbers 123456789, make them add up to 100. They must stay in the same order. You can use addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. Remember, they have to stay in the same order !!!
first to get correct answer will get best post, good luck!

neglecting order of precedence (multiplication/division is performed before addition/subtraction)
1 / 2 + 3 x 4 x 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9
1 x 2 + 3 x 4 x 5 - 6 + 7 + 8 - 9

yes if you did neglect order of precedence, you would be correct but there is a way of doing it without neglecting the order, nice try, closest so far.

Sorry, this one also adds up to 324, another good try though, a + for your attempt also.
