Answer 1

To find the total number of bagels produced, we can use the information given about the percentage of bagels that were burned.

We know that 10% of the total bagels produced were burned, and that number is 208.

Let \( x \) be the total number of bagels produced. We can set up the equation:

\[ 0.10x = 208 \]

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

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

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

Thus, the correct response is:

2,080 bagels.
