Let \( x \) be the total number of bagels produced on Saturday. According to the problem, 10% of the total bagels produced were burned, and that equals 208 bagels.

We can set up the equation:

\[ 0.10x = 208 \]

To find \( x \), we need to divide both sides by 0.10:

\[ x = \frac{208}{0.10} \]

Calculating the right side:

\[ x = 2080 \]

Therefore, the total number of bagels produced on Saturday is \( 2,080 \) bagels.

The correct answer is 2,080 bagels.
