184
Why?
You double the number you subtract double that number and add, double blah blah
100-4 = 96 Double the number 4: 4+4 = 8
96+8 = 104 Double the number 8: 8+8 = 16
104-16 = 88 Double the number 16: 16+16 = 32
88 + 32 = 120 Double the number
120 - 64 = 56 next step is what?: 64+64 = ? and:
56+? = 184
