485
The next number is 485.
As the sequence is going up, you multiply the previous number by 3 and add 2. Therefore, the next number in the sequence is equal to 161 x 3 + 2 = 425.
Each term in the sequence is three times the previous term plus two, so the next term is 485.1 (3 x 1 + 2) 5 (3 x 5 + 2) 17 (3 x 17 + 2) 53 (3 x 53 = 2) 161 (3 x 161 + 2) 485
Try: 161+324 = 485 would seem to fit the pattern
1 + (4) = 5 5 + (4x3) = 17 17 + (4x3x3) = 53 53 + (4x3x3x3) = 161 161 + (4x3x3x3x3) = ?

It's either 485 or 477. They both work.
