It is a Fibonacci-like sequence . The general formula is: a n = a n 1 + a n 2 a_n = a_{n-1} + a_{n-2} as follows:

a n 2 + a n 1 = a n 205 + 210 = 415 210 + 415 = 625 415 + 625 = 1040 625 + 1040 = 1665 1040 + 1665 = 2705 1665 + 2705 = 4370 2705 + 4370 = 7075 4370 + 7075 = 11445 7075 + 11445 = 18520 \begin{aligned} a_{n-2} + a_{n-1} & = a_n \\ 205 + 210 & = 415 \\ 210 + 415 & = 625 \\ 415 + 625 & = 1040 \\ 625 +1040 & = 1665 \\ 1040 + 1665 & = 2705 \\ 1665 + 2705 & = 4370 \\ 2705 + 4370 & = 7075 \\ 4370 + 7075 & = 11445 \\ 7075 + 11445 & = \boxed{18520} \end{aligned}

205 + 210 = 415 205 + 210 = 415

415 + 210 = 625 415 + 210 = 625

625 + 415 = 1040 625 + 415 = 1040

1040 + 625 = 1665 1040 + 625 = 1665

1665 + 1040 = 2705 1665 + 1040 = 2705

2705 + 1665 = 4370 2705 + 1665 = 4370

4370 + 2705 = 7075 4370 + 2705 = 7075

7075 + 4370 = 11445 7075 + 4370= 11445

11445 + 7075 = 18520 11445 + 7075= 18520
