We must find the average of the numbers from 1 to 99 and x in terms of x. The sum of all these terms is 99(100)/2+x=99(50)+x. We must divide this by the total number of terms, which is 100. We get: (99(50)+x)/100. This is equal to 100x, as stated in the problem. We have: (99(50)+x)/100=100x. We can now cross multiply. This gives:

100(100x)=99(50)+x
 
10000x=99(50)+x
 
9999x=99(50)
 
101x=50
 
x=50/101
 
 
 
This gives us our answer. <math> \boxed{\mathrm{(B)}= 50/101} </math>
