Create a variable named "onehundred"

Create a variable named "onehundred" and assign the correct numeric value 100 to it using only variables a, b, and c and the common numeric operators.

var a = 1, b = 2, c = 4; my answer: var onehundred = c + c + b / b * c + c + a * c;

keep in mind I'm not good with math.

please help me

Your answer was only 20. Multiply your answer with 5, and you got 100. http://jsfiddle.net/H3p87/

I used this one

var onehundred = (a+b+c) * (a+b+c) + (a+b+c) + (a+b+c) + (a+b+c) + (a+b+c) + (a+b+c) + (a+b+c) + (a+b+c) + a + a; and it worked
