Default Help determining a best "lineup"

I need to determine the best possible (statistically speaking) lineup to start.

Each car has a value, and each car has odds.

I must choose 5 cars, and the value cannot exceed 100.
I typed in all my data, can Excel choose the best possible lineup for me?

In the end, I need the lowest result possible while only using 100 pts (or
less) in
value.

Here is a sample of my data.
Car # Value Odds (#to1) (Result=Value x Odds)
1 23.5 4 94.00
2 23.4 5 117.00
3 22.8 5.75 131.10
4 22.6 6.75 152.55
5 22.2 12.5 277.50
6 23 15 345.00
7 15 23.5 352.50
8 22 17.5 385.00
9 21.8 20 436.00
10 19.5 23.5 458.25
11 21.6 23.5 507.60
12 21 25 525.00
13 21.7 25 542.50
14 19 30 570.00
15 22.1 30 663.00
16 20.3 35 710.50
17 21.9 34 744.60
18 20 40 800.00
19 18.8 45 846.00
20 18.6 47.5 883.50


Thanks for your help.
