The total number of visitors expected in the exhibit's first 7 weeks is 41,370.The number of visitors in the first week is 6000.The number of visitors in the second week is 6000 - 30 = 5970.The number of visitors in the third week is 5970 - 30 = 5940.The number of visitors in the fourth week is 5940 - 30 = 5910.The number of visitors in the fifth week is 5910 - 30 = 5880.The number of visitors in the sixth week is 5880 - 30 = 5850.The number of visitors in the seventh week is 5850 - 30 = 5820.The total number of visitors in the first 7 weeks is 6000 + 5970 + 5940 + 5910 + 5880 + 5850 + 5820 = 41,370.
