AMC 12 2016a Problem 20

  • Paper

A binary operation ♢\diamondsuit has the properties that a ♢ (b ♢ c)=(a ♢ b)⋅ca\ \diamondsuit\ (b\ \diamondsuit\ c) = (a\ \diamondsuit\ b)\cdot c and that a ♢ a=1a\ \diamondsuit\ a = 1 for all nonzero real numbers a,ba, b and c.c. (Here the dot ⋅\cdot represents the usual multiplication operation.) The solution to the equation 2016 ♢ (6 ♢ x)=1002016\ \diamondsuit\ (6\ \diamondsuit\ x) = 100 can be written as pq,\frac{p}{q}, where pp and qq are relatively prime positive integers. What is p+q?p + q?
