Answer 1

Answer:

The bus carrie 192 passengers each day

Step-by-step explanation:

The shuttle bus makes 4 round-trips.  with  24 people each way

We consider that each round-trip is 2 ways because It departs from shopping A to shopping B ( thats one trip) and then came back to Shopping A,  this is another trip.  

So,  to get the number of passengers that the bus carried each day we must multipled 4 round-trips x 2 ways x 24 passengers.  

P=4 x 2 x 24=192

Answer 2

24 x 4=  96 passengers in total a day
