Answer :

The number that comes next in the pattern is: 103

What is the next number in the pattern?

The pattern is given as:

76, 80, 88, 95, 100, 101

Thus, we can deduce that:

7 + 6 = 13 and 13 = 1 + 3 = 4 and 76 + 4 = 80

8 + 0 = 8 and 80 + 8 = 88

8 + 8 = 16 and 1 + 6 = 7 and 88 + 7 = 95

9 + 5 = 14 and 1 + 4 = 5 and 95 + 5 = 100

1 + 0 + 0 = 1 and 100 + 1 = 101

1 + 0 + 1 = 2 and 101 + 2 = 103
