Answer 1

To find the total amount of bagels produced on Saturday, we can set up the equation based on the information given. We know that 10% of the total amount of bagels produced is equal to 208 bagels.

Let $x$ be the total number of bagels produced. We can write the equation as:

$$0.10x=208$$

To solve for $x$, we divide both sides by 0.10:

$$x=\frac{208}{0.10}$$

Calculating this gives:

$$x=2080$$

So, the total number of bagels produced on Saturday is 2,080.

The correct response is:

2,080 bagels.
