AMC10 2010 B · Q14. It mainly tests Linear equations, Averages (mean).

The average of the numbers $1,2,3,\dots,98,99,$ and $x$ is $100x$. What is $x$?
数 $1,2,3,\dots,98,99,$ 和 $x$ 的平均数是 $100x$。求 $x$。
(A) $\frac{49}{101}$ $\frac{49}{101}$
(B) $\frac{50}{101}$ $\frac{50}{101}$
(C) $\frac{1}{2}$ $\frac{1}{2}$
(D) $\frac{51}{101}$ $\frac{51}{101}$
(E) $\frac{50}{99}$ $\frac{50}{99}$
Answer
Correct choice: (B)
正确答案:(B)
Solution
Answer (B): The average of the numbers is \[ \frac{1+2+\cdots+99+x}{100}=\frac{\frac{99\cdot100}{2}+x}{100}=\frac{99\cdot50+x}{100}=100x. \] This equation is equivalent to \(9999x=(99\cdot101)x=99\cdot50\), so \(x=\frac{50}{101}\).
答案(B):这些数的平均值为 \[ \frac{1+2+\cdots+99+x}{100}=\frac{\frac{99\cdot100}{2}+x}{100}=\frac{99\cdot50+x}{100}=100x. \] 该方程等价于 \(9999x=(99\cdot101)x=99\cdot50\),因此 \(x=\frac{50}{101}\)。
