If 10% of the total amount of bagels produced on Saturday was burned and that amount equals 208 bagels, we can set up the following equation to find the total number of bagels produced, let’s call it \( x \):
\[
0.10x = 208
\]
To solve for \( x \), we can divide both sides of the equation by 0.10:
\[
x = \frac{208}{0.10} = 2080
\]
Thus, the total number of bagels produced on Saturday was \( 2080 \).
Now, looking at the given options:
A. 208 bagels
B. 21 bagels
C. 2,080 bagels
D. 20,080 bagels
The correct answer is C. **2,080 bagels**.
\[
0.10x = 208
\]
To solve for \( x \), we can divide both sides of the equation by 0.10:
\[
x = \frac{208}{0.10} = 2080
\]
Thus, the total number of bagels produced on Saturday was \( 2080 \).
Now, looking at the given options:
A. 208 bagels
B. 21 bagels
C. 2,080 bagels
D. 20,080 bagels
The correct answer is C. **2,080 bagels**.
