you can use some or all thes numbers but you cannot use any of them twice.
the operations are multiply, division, addition and subtraction (and brackets if you want)
The aim is to get as close as possible to the target number.
1) 4, 6, 25, 50, 75, 100 The target number is 821
2) 2, 8, 25, 50, 75 and 100 The target number is 431 (I think this one may be very difficult)
I'll post the answers after you have had a go.
(75 + 50) * 6 + 100 - 25 - 4 = 821
75 * (50 - 6) / 4 - 100 / 25 = 821
(100 + 50 - 25) * 6 + 75 - 4 = 821
(100 - 75) * (25 + 6) + 50 - 4 = 821
(100 + 6 - 75) * 25 + 50 - 4 = 821
100 * (50 + 6) * 4 / 25 - 75 = 821
----------------------------------------------------
(75 * 50 - 100 - 2) / 8 - 25 = 431
(75 * (50 - 100 / 25) - 2) / 8 = 431

(75 + 50) * 6 + 100 - 25 - 4 = 821
75 * (50 - 6) / 4 - 100 / 25 = 821
(100 + 50 - 25) * 6 + 75 - 4 = 821
(100 - 75) * (25 + 6) + 50 - 4 = 821
(100 + 6 - 75) * 25 + 50 - 4 = 821
100 * (50 + 6) * 4 / 25 - 75 = 821
----------------------------------------------------
(75 * 50 - 100 - 2) / 8 - 25 = 431
(75 * (50 - 100 / 25) - 2) / 8 = 431
