It's doable, but it's effed up (it was a real life game; my dads favourite ever numbers, back in the Carol Vorderman days - she asked for a calculator to do the contestant's solution!)

100 + 6 = 106
106 * 3 = 318
318 * 75 = 23850
23850 - 50 = 23800
23800 / 25 = 952

There is an easier way

100 + 3 = 103
75 * 6 = 450
450 / 50 = 9
103 * 9 = 927
927 + 25 = 952

Seeing as no solution has been posted since yesterday, I'll presume to make a new one:
Numbers: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 75
Target: 678

PS: found a solution for yesterday after all.
(25-2)=23

Can get within 1.

10+8 = 18

18/2 = 9

9x75 = 675

675 + 6 = 681

681 - 4 = 677
