Question

-3.42, 10.26, -30.78, 92.34, ___,... what is the next number

Answer 1

-277.02

Explanation:

Given series:

• -3.42, 10.26, -30.78, 92.34,...

We can see the series is a GP with common ratio of -3, as:

• 10.26/-3.42= -30.78/10.26= 92.34/-30.78= -3

So the next term will be:

• 92.34 × (-3)= -277.02
