Question 617946: What comes next?
41.45, 41.5,42,18.23,18.2,18,73.09

You can put this solution on YOUR website! 73.18 or 73?
for the first three numbers, each successive number is the sum of the previous number plus the addition of its lowest significant digit (41.45 + 0.5 = 41.5) (41.5 + 0.5 = 42)
For the next three numbers, the successive number is the previous number minus the previous lowest significant digit (18.23 - 0.03 = 18.2) (18.2 - 0.2 = 18)
So if the pattern is alternating between those two patterns, the next number would be (73.09 + 0.09 = 73.18)
If the pattern stays with subtraction, then 73 (73.09 - 0.09 = 73)
