To find the next number in the pattern $$0.54, 0.6, 0.66, 0.72, \ldots$$, let's first analyze the differences between the consecutive numbers:

1. The difference between $$0.6$$ and $$0.54$$ is:
   $$
   0.6 - 0.54 = 0.06
   $$

2. The difference between $$0.66$$ and $$0.6$$ is:
   $$
   0.66 - 0.6 = 0.06
   $$

3. The difference between $$0.72$$ and $$0.66$$ is:
   $$
   0.72 - 0.66 = 0.06
   $$

From this, we can see that the pattern increases by $$0.06$$ each time.

To find the next number after $$0.72$$, we add $$0.06$$ to it:
$$
0.72 + 0.06 = 0.78
$$

Thus, the next number in the pattern is $$0.78$$.
The next number in the pattern is 0.78.
