A shuttle bus makes 4 round-trips between 2 shopping centers each day. The bus holds 24 people. If the bus is full on each one-way trip, how many passengers are carried by the bus each day?

There are 192 passengers carried by the bus each day.

Given:

Bus does 4 round trips.

Bus holds 24 people.

Bus is full on each one-way trip.

Find number of passengers carried by the bus each day.

1 round trip is equal to 2 one-way trip.

4 round trip is equal to 8 one-way trip.

Each trip is full of passengers.

24 passengers per one-way trip * 8 one-way trip per day = 192 passengers per day.

The bus makes four round trips, which means that it will go a total of 8 times: 4 times twice.

And on each of those 8 journeys, it will take with it 24 people.

So we have to multiply 24 by 8: this is 192.

so each day the bus carries 192 people.
