You can put this solution on YOUR website!
+log%28+10%2C+100+%29+
A good thing to remember is:
Logs are exponents
--------------------------
So you can read the problem as:
"What is the exponent with the base 10
which gives me 100?
---------------------
Now rewrite 100 as +10%5E2+
Now you have:
+log%28+10%2C+10%5E2+%29+
---------------------------
Now you can read this as:
"What is the exponent to the base 10
which gives me +10%5E2+
The answer is obviously +2+
