Answer:

$205

Explanation:

45 - 25 = 20

65 - 45 = 20

as you can see the common difference between the 3 consecutive numbers 25 , 45 and 65 is a constant (20)

so ,we are in an arithmetic sequence case with :

  • first term 25
  • common difference r = 20

Let’s label the sequence: Un

then

Un = U1 + (n-1)×r

= 25 + (n-1)×20

= 20n + 5

for n = 10 → U10 = 20(10) + 5 = 200 + 5 = 205
