Number Pattern Challenge: Continue the Sequence from 850,000, 750,000

Question

Complete the sequence:

850,000, 750,000,  850{,}000,\ 750{,}000, \ \ldots

Step-by-Step Solution

Let's determine the sequence by following these steps:

  • Step 1: Identify the common difference by subtracting the second term from the first term: 750,000850,000=100,000 750,000 - 850,000 = -100,000 .
  • Step 2: Recognize that the sequence progresses by subtracting 100,000 from each term to get the next term.
  • Step 3: Apply the difference to find the next terms:
    • Third term: 650,000=750,000100,000 650,000 = 750,000 - 100,000
    • Fourth term: 550,000=650,000100,000 550,000 = 650,000 - 100,000
    • Fifth term: 450,000=550,000100,000 450,000 = 550,000 - 100,000

Therefore, the completed sequence following the same pattern is 650,000,550,000,450,000 650,000, 550,000, 450,000 .

Given the choices, this corresponds to choice 1.

Answer

650,000, 550,000, 450,000 650{,}000,\ 550{,}000, \ 450{,}000
