How do you predict the next value in a non-linear series, ie an exponential curve?

The numbers are 76, 89, 99, 125, 199. I need the next number, but would really appreciate knowing the formula to do this as well. Thanks!

The answer is 274

y=56.136e^0.2265x

Would be close not correct

Are you sure you've got the numbers right? The first "gap" is 13, the second only 10, the third 26 and the fourth 74. Doesn't look exponential.
