2025 AMC 10B Problem 3

A Pascal-like triangle has 10 as the top row and 10 followed by 1 as the second row. In each subsequent row the first number is 10, the last number is 1, and, as in the standard Pascal’s Triangle, each other number in the row is the sum of the two numbers directly above it. The first four rows are shown below.
