Answer: -273
Step-by-step explanation:
This is an arithmetic progression and the formula to find the nth term is given as:
= a + (n-1)d
Therefore, the 100th term will be:
= a + (n-1)d
= a + (100 - 1)d
= a + 99d
where a = 222
d = -5
Therefore, a + 99d = 222 + 99(-5)
= 222 + (-495)
= 222 - 495
= -273
