convert a=(b/100)*a into a "expr" expression

Hi Guys,

THis is the first time am using the expr expression.
I like to know how to write the expression a=(b\100)*a.

THis works fine if it gives without a bracket. the bracket should be present as i wanted to define the order of execution.

Help me out.

Thanks for your help in advance.

Regards,
Magesh.
