Answer 1

The given sequence is 30, 27.5, 25.

To find the next term, we need to determine the pattern.

1. The first term is 30.
2. The second term is 27.5, which is 30 - 2.5.
3. The third term is 25, which is 27.5 - 2.5.

It appears that each term is decreasing by 2.5.

Continuing the pattern:

• From 25, if we subtract 2.5, we get:

  25 - 2.5 = 22.5.

Thus, the next term in the sequence is 22.5.
