41,600 bagels

Answer 1

Let \( x \) be the total number of bagels produced on Saturday. According to the problem, 8% of \( x \) burned equals 416 bagels. We can set up the equation as follows:

\[
0.08x = 416
\]

To find \( x \), we can divide both sides of the equation by 0.08:

\[
x = \frac{416}{0.08}
\]

Calculating this gives:

\[
x = 5,200
\]

Thus, Bagel Emporium produced a total of **5,200 bagels** on Saturday.

The correct response is:
**5,200 bagels**
