You can put this solution on YOUR website!
When no base is given in the logarithmic expression, we assume that the base is 10. So your question becomes, "What is the log base 10 of 100?" or "To what power must we raise 10 to get 100?
Since 10%5E2=100 the answer to your question is 2.

log 100 = 2

Remember, the answer to a log problem is an exponent.
Good luck on your test!
