Answer:

99/100

Explanation:

First of all recall that


a^n\cdot b^n =(ab)^n

Now we we will try to apply that formula for
a=99/100 and
b=100/99.

First rewrite
(99/100)^(101)=(99/100)* (99/100)^(100)

Now


(99/100)* (99/100)^(100)* (100/99)^(100)\\=(99/100)* ((99/100)* (100/99))^(100)\\=(99/100)* 1^(100)\\=(99/100)* 1\\=99/100
