In the sequence: 87, 72, 66, 51, 45, ..., what number should come next? a) 39
b) 30
c) 31
d) 36

B) 30

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference between 87 and 72 is 15, the difference between 72 and 66 is 6, the difference between 66 and 51 jumps back to 15 again and the difference between 51 and 45 jumps to 6 again. This shows that the difference between the numbers are first 15,then 6 then 15 then 6...and so on. Since tue latest difference is 6, the next difference between 45 and the next number would be 15.

Let the number be x.

45-x = 15

45 = 15+x

Isolate the x.

45-15 = x

Find x.

x = 30

Thus, the next number is 30.

step-by-step explanation:

it will cost dollar $540

the living room is 3 which means if we divide 325/3 then we get $108

therefore if 1part of the living room cost $108 and 3 costed $325

then total 5part of the room will cost 5*108 which gives $540
