A system with two stars is called a binary star system. A system with three stars is called a ternary system or a trinary system - both names mean the same thing. Beyond three stars there are quaternary or quadruple systems which have four stars, quintuple systems which have 5 stars and so on and so fourth.

Are there a hundered stars in the solar system?

If you mean within our own solar system, then the answer would be no; there is only one star in our solar system (the sun). Other solar systems can have more than one sun (or star) at it's centre, and are known as either binary stars (when there are two), triple stars (when there are three), etc., or simply as multiple star systems (when there are more than three).In terms of the number of stars within our own galaxy (the Milky Way galaxy), there is estimated to be anywhere from 100-400 billion stars.
