The question was: How do you add, subtract, multiply and divide 3, 5, 7, 9, 75, 100 to get 969 ?
It's interesting to note that 969 = 323 x 3, so a first approach is to try to get to 323 using 5, 7, 9, 75, 100. That turns out to be possible: (75 - 9) x 5 - 7 = 323.
Answer: 969 = ((75 - 9) x 5 - 7) x 3 = (66 x 5 - 7) x 3 = (330 - 7) x 3 = 323 x 3.
