Given the sequence:
3,5,9,15, 23
Determine the next number.
Explanation:
In order to determine the next number, we must familiarize ourselves first with the pattern. It can be seen that from 3 to 5, 2 is added, next from 5 to 9, 4 is added. 9 to 15, 6 is added. 15 to 23, 8 is added. We can then find the next number by adding 8 with 2, then adding the sum to 23.
Solution:
= 8 + 2
= 10
= 23 + 10
= 33
FInal answer:
B. 33
