Using the following production tally, determine how many total mousetraps were produced during a shift:

Quantity per package: 60
Number of packages you sealed: 41
Starting quantity in first package (from previous shift): 52
Ending quantity in your last unsealed package (leave for next shift): 24
Rejected mousetraps: 34
