Answer 2

5200 bagels were produced on Saturday

Explanation:

Let total amount of bagels produced on Saturday be x.

As per the statement: Bagel Emporium burned 8 percent of the total amount of bagels produced on Saturday.

⇒ Bagel Emporium burned = 8% of x

It is also given that 416 bagels were burned.

⇒ 8% of x = 416

⇒
`(8)/(100) \cdot x = 416`

⇒
`(8x)/(100) =416`

Multiply both sides by
`(100)/(8)`, we have

⇒
`x = 416 * (100)/(8) = 52 * 100 = 5200`

Therefore, 5200 bagels were produced on Saturday
