208 bagels

Answer 1

To find the total amount of bagels produced on Saturday, we know that 10% of the total bagels is equal to the number of bagels burned, which is 208 bagels.

Let \( x \) be the total amount of bagels produced. Then, we can set up the equation:

\[ 0.10x = 208 \]

To solve for \( x \), we divide both sides by 0.10:

\[ x = \frac{208}{0.10} = 2080 \]

Thus, the total amount of bagels produced on Saturday is 2,080 bagels.

So, the correct response is 2,080 bagels.
