Digits 1 through 9 = 100


Look at the following:
1 + 23 - 4 + 5 - 6 + 78 + 9 = 106
Notice that the digits 1 through 9 are used in order to arrive at 106. Using 1 through 9 in order, and using only addition or subtraction, create an equation that equals 100.



(Hint: There is MORE than one answer!!)
