Answer:


77/.77\cdot1

Explanation:

What we're basically looking for here are ways to get 100 using these numbers.

My immediate first thought was "can we divide the 7's by some 7's to get 100?"

I know that
7 / .7=10, so I had the idea to make it
77 / .77 = 100. This means that we can use the number 7 four times in the equation
77 / .77=100.

However, we're still missing a 1 that we need to include. This is easy, we can just multiply
77 / .77 by 1.

So in conclusion, we get
77 / .77\cdot1

Hope this helped!
