We have 8 dozen bagels, or 8*12=96 bagels. Each plate can hold 14 bagels, so we have enough bagels to fill 96/14=about 6.86 plates. However, we cannot have a fraction of a plate, so we round up to have a total of seven plates. To fill all seven plates fully, 7*14=98 bagels would be needed, which is two more than we have.
To summarize, Mr. Corsetti has seven plates of bagels, and would need two more bagels to fill the last one up.
