Problem Installing Skype libgtk-3-0 (>= 3.21.5)

Question

I tried to install skype from terminal. (i'm newbie on ubuntu)

First: wget https://repo.skype.com/latest/skypeforlinux-64.deb
Second: sudo apt install ./skypeforlinux-64.deb
Finally: sudo apt install ./skypeforlinux-64.deb

but i get an error that says

The following packages have unmet dependencies: skypeforlinux : Depends: libgtk-3-0 (>= 3.21.5) but 3.18.9-1ubuntu3.3 is to be installed E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

and I am using Ubuntu 16 LTS.

How to solve this? or how to install the required dependency ?
