Well done guys but I am sorry to inform you that the answer is not 15, This is not the pattern
72 + 27 = 99
27 + 18 = 45
18 + 21 = 39....
If you follow this pattern, you will notice that it doesn't work for the three last numbers:

13 + 7 is not equal to 21
.
The pattern for this puzzle is more tricky than it seems to be. In fact this puzzle is used to test how people jump to conclusions.

The correct pattern works for all the numbers in the puzzle.
....... waiting for the genius who will unveil this pattern.

Also thought it was 15 until I got to the last part "13+7" which wasn't equal to 21....am just cracking my brain right now
