    100/5 = 20

    would be the middle number so 18 + 19+20+21+22 = 100

    since you want it to be less than 100 use 17 instead of 22

    so you have 17 + 18+19+20+21 = 95

    95 is the maximum sum

    X+x+2+x+4+x+6+x+8 < 100

    5x + 20 < 100

    5x < 80

    x < 16

    so the 5 numbers are 14,16,18,20,22 and maximum sum = 90
