Answer 2

To find the total number of bagels produced on Saturday, given that 8 percent were burned and that amounted to 416 bagels, we set up the equation 0.08T = 416. Solving for T, we find that T equals 5,200, which means 5,200 bagels were produced.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is asking us to find the total number of bagels produced on Saturday at Bagel Emporium, given that 8 percent were burned and the number of burned bagels was 416. To find the total, we can set up an equation where 8% (or 0.08 when converted to a decimal) of the total number of bagels (let's call this total T) is equal to 416. The equation would look like this: 0.08T = 416.

To solve for T, we divide both sides of the equation by 0.08:

T = 416 / 0.08

T = 5,200

Therefore, the Bagel Emporium produced 5,200 bagels on Saturday.
