1 yard = 0.9144 meters. 100 yards = 91.44 m.
Speed = 91.44 m/9.30 s - 9.832 m/s.
Then 9.832 m/s x (#sec) = 100 m
Solve for # sec
Speed = 91.44 m/9.30 s - 9.832 m/s.
Then 9.832 m/s x (#sec) = 100 m
Solve for # sec

On second thought that "continuing on to 100 m" part of the question began to bother me. So she completes 91.44 m in 9.30 s, that leaves 100-91.44 = 8.56 m to go and it takes her 8.56m/9.832m/s = 0.871 s to finish to the 100 m mark. Then 0.930 + 0.871 = ? and that gives the same answer as in the first response above. So I guess it makes no difference how the question is interpreted.
NOTE: I have redone the first response to correct a typo where I wrote - instead of =. Corrected is below.
1 yard = 0.9144 meters. 100 yards = 91.44 m.
Speed = 91.44 m/9.30 s = 9.832 m/s.
Then 9.832 m/s x (#sec) = 100 m
Solve for # sec
