Three Five Six To One Hundred

Without changing the order of these numbers, how can they equal 100?

3 5 6 2 54 5

= 3 * (5 – 6) + 2 * 54 – 5
= -3 + 108 – 5
= 105 – 5
= 100

I believe I have come up with an alternative answer that is also correct:
My answer:
= (3×5) + 6^2 + (54-5)
= 15 + 36 + (49)
= 51 + 49
= 100

Am I missing something, or is this okay?

My answer:
=((3+5)-6)+(2*(54-5))
=(8-6)+(2*49)
=2+98
=100
