You can see that you're constantly subtracting 8 to get the next number. So, we have





So, as you can see, to get the n-th term we must subtract (n-1) times 8 from the original number.
Answer: $222.73
===========================================
Work Shown:
x = pre-GST price
10% of x = 0.10x = tax amount
x + 0.10x = 1.10x = post-GST price = 245
1.10x = 245
x = 245/1.10
x = 222.7272 approximately
x = 222.73 is the price before tax.
------------
Check:
10% of 222.73 = 0.10*222.73 = 22.273 = 22.27
The tax amount ($22.27) is added to the pre-GST price to get
22.27+222.73 = 245
which matches the post-GST price mentioned.
The answer is confirmed.
Or another way to confirm the answer is to calculate this
1.10*222.73 = 245.003 = 245
