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

We can express this relationship mathematically as:

\[ 0.10x = 208 \]

To find \( x \), we can solve the equation:

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

Therefore, the total number of bagels produced on Saturday was 2,080 bagels.

The correct response is:

2,080 bagels.
