\(A=\dfrac{1}{100}-\dfrac{1}{100.99}-...-\dfrac{1}{2.1}\\ =\dfrac{1}{100}-\left(\dfrac{1}{1.2}+\dfrac{1}{2.3}+...+\dfrac{1}{99.100}\right)\\ =\dfrac{1}{100}-\left(1-\dfrac{1}{2}+\dfrac{1}{2}-\dfrac{1}{3}+...+\dfrac{1}{99}-\dfrac{1}{100}\right)\\ =\dfrac{1}{100}-\left(1-\dfrac{1}{100}\right)\\ =\dfrac{1}{100}-\dfrac{99}{100}\\ =\dfrac{-98}{100}\\ =-\dfrac{49}{100}\)
\(A=\dfrac{1}{100}-\dfrac{1}{100.99}-\dfrac{1}{99.98}-\dfrac{1}{98.97}-...-\dfrac{1}{3.2}-\dfrac{1}{2.1}\)
\(=\dfrac{1}{100}-\left(\dfrac{1}{100.99}+\dfrac{1}{99.98}+\dfrac{1}{98.97}+...+\dfrac{1}{3.2}+\dfrac{1}{2.1}\right)\)
\(=\dfrac{1}{100}-\left(\dfrac{1}{1.2}+\dfrac{1}{2.3}+...+\dfrac{1}{97.98}+\dfrac{1}{98.99}+\dfrac{1}{99.100}\right)\)
\(=\dfrac{1}{100}-\left(1-\dfrac{1}{2}+\dfrac{1}{2}-\dfrac{1}{3}+...+\dfrac{1}{97}-\dfrac{1}{98}+\dfrac{1}{98}-\dfrac{1}{99}+\dfrac{1}{99}-\dfrac{1}{100}\right)\)
\(=\dfrac{1}{100}-\left(1-\dfrac{1}{100}\right)\)
\(=-\dfrac{49}{50}\)
