Concept:Add mixed fractions by separately summing the whole numbers and the fractional parts. Then convert the total fraction to a mixed number if necessary.Explanation:First, write each mixed fraction as a sum: $99\frac{1}{5} = 99 + \frac{1}{5}$, $99\frac{4}{5} = 99 + \frac{4}{5}$, $90\frac{1}{5} = 90 + \frac{1}{5}$.Now group the whole numbers: $99 + 99 + 90 = 288$.Group the fractions: $\frac{1}{5} + \frac{4}{5} + \frac{1}{5} = \frac{1+4+1}{5} = \frac{6}{5}$.Convert the improper fraction $\frac{6}{5}$ into a mixed number: $6 \div 5 = 1$ remainder $1$, so $\frac{6}{5} = 1\frac{1}{5}$.Add the whole number sum and the mixed fraction: $288 + 1\frac{1}{5} = 289\frac{1}{5}$.Answer:$289\frac{1}{5}$; Option A.
