Answer 1

To find the total number of bagels produced on Saturday, we can set up the equation based on the information given:

Let \( x \) be the total number of bagels produced. According to the problem, 8% of the total bagels burned equals 416 bagels. This can be expressed mathematically as:

\[ 0.08x = 416 \]

To solve for \( x \), divide both sides by 0.08:

\[ x = \frac{416}{0.08} \]

Calculating the right-hand side:

\[ x = 5200 \]

Thus, the total number of bagels produced on Saturday is 5,200 bagels.

The correct response is:

5,200 bagels.
