I would say none because if you try to find numbers that add up to 100 you won’t find them as integers. The answer is either no sets at all or you can do numbers that are consecutive like 32 1/3 , 33 1/3 and 34 1/3 . They all add up to 100 but I’m not sure cause they’re not full numbers so they’re not integers.
