Answer: What Comes Next? #346

The answer is A: 40.

The rule

Add 5 each time.

The pattern as Python code

Here is a tiny Python program that follows the same rule. Type it into IDLE and run it to print the whole pattern, including the answer.

number = 10
for step in range(7):
    print(number)
    number = number + 5

When you run it, Python prints:

10
15
20
25
30
35
40
