What is the next number in the series 7, 2, 0, 7, 8, 4, 3?

Let the next number in the sequence is x, then the sequence would be 7, 2, 0, 7, 8, 4, 3, x.

7 + 2 + 0 + 7 = 16

2 + 0 + 7 + 8 = 17 (16 + 1)

0 + 7 + 8 + 4 = 19 (17 + 2)

7 + 8 + 4 + 3 = 22 (19 + 3)

8 + 4 + 3 + x = 26 (22+ 4)

x = 11

This is a sequence where the sum of every subsequent 4 numbers is incremented by 1. So, the next number in the sequence would be 11.
