Frame at least 8 different equations by inserting plus and minus signs only into 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9; to give a total of 100.

For example: 123 - 45 - 67 + 89 = 100

(The numbers must stay in the normal ascending order from 1 to 9).

What I have done is provide an answer to the problem that works. It's a cheesy answer, but it fits the bill. What you asked for and what you were looking for are not necessarily the same thing. :-)>
