Answer:

26,244

Explanation:

First, find the pattern with the numbers you already have. That pattern is × 3.

Since you're already at the fourth term, just keep multiplying your product by 3 until you get to the ninth term.

108 × 3 = 324

324 × 3 = 972

972 × 3 = 2,916

2916 × 3 = 8748

8748 × 3 = 26244

Therefore, your answer is 26,244.
