To determine the next term in the sequence 30, 27.5, 25, we first look for a pattern.
- The first term is 30.
- The second term is 27.5, which is 30 - 2.5.
- The third term is 25, which is 27.5 - 2.5.
It appears that each term is decreasing by 2.5. If we continue this pattern:
25 - 2.5 = 22.5
Therefore, the next term in the sequence is 22.5.
