Jim is assessing the popularity of his high school football team’s website for the first 5 weeks after the season ends. The average number of visits on the website for 5 weeks is given in the table below. The percent decrease in the average number of visits each week since the end of the season was (___)%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The table is easier to read if formatted more like a table:

Number of Weeks Avg. Number of Visits

  0 48,000

  1 24,000

  2 12,000

  3 6,000

  4 3,000

  5 1,500

The initial number of visits to the website was 48,000. -- the value for week 0.

The percent decrease from 4th week to 5th week was 50%. ((new/old) -1)·100% = (1500/3000 -1)·100% = -50%

The minimum number of visits on the website in the first 5 weeks since Jim began his assessment was 1,500. (the number in the 5th week)
