Using the numbers [99, 1, 2], create an equation that equals 100. You can use basic arithmetic operations (+, -, *, /) and each number can only be used once. Show your work in <think> </think> tags. Please make sure to provide all the reasoning and steps you took to arrive at the answer, for example <answer> 99 - 2 = 97, 97 + 1 = 98, 98 + 2 = 100 </answer>.<|im_end|>
