assistance with my batch calculator

Can someone tell me what is wrong with my batch script? I just doesn't work...

@echo off
:start
echo please enter a mathamatical equation
set /p varia=
set /a %varia%
pause
goto start

If you go into command prompt and type in

set /a (9*5+4-9)/10

the next line is

4

So my idea is putting it into a batch script and use variables, but no good. I even tried just

set /a 5+5

but that failed too. For some reason the cmd command doesn't work in a batch file.

Instead try this:

@echo off
:start
echo Please enter a mathamatical equation: 
set /p varia=
set /a answer=%varia%
echo =%answer%
pause
goto start

As you have turned echo off the variable's value won't be echoed.
