One approach is to look at the differences between terms:

12, 17, 27, 47

Then the differences between terms of the previous sequence:

5, 10, 20

We can try assigning 40 as the next term in the above sequence (since it appears to double), so the difference in the first sequence would be 47+40 = 87. By this rule, the next term would be 109+87 = 196.

There are probably other approaches that give different answers, which is why these sequence problems usually aren't very good.
