Answer:

267 (if this isn't correct, try 277)*

Explanation:

The pattern is subtracting 5 from the original number.

So, since we want to find the 101st, we multiply 101 by five

101*5=505

Therefore, we subtract 505 from 772

772-505= 267

*if it isn't correct, its because the 3 are part of 101, and after 772 is the 4th term, so in that case we would do 782-505=277
