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 \(x=\frac{50}{101}\)。
