Cinnamon · Answer 1

The total number of packages completed was 41 and with 60 moustraps per package so 41 x 60 = 2460. Of these, 52 traps were from the previous shift and 34 were rejects so 2460-52-34 = 2374 produced + 24 in the last unsealed package = 2374 + 24 = 2398.

The solution would be like this for this specific problem:

No. of Packages sealed

= (1 for Previous Shift) + (40 for My Shift) = 41

Previous Shift: (60-52)

My Shift sealed: (40x60)

My Shift unsealed: 24

Rejected: 34

Total = 8 + 2400 + 24 + 34

= 2466

So, there were a total of 2,466 mouse traps that were produced during a shift.
