Ben's Bicycle Helmets makes bicycle helmets at a cost of 3000 + 12x dollars per month to

produce x helmets. They sell the helmets for $21 each.

1. Determine the cost to produce 500 helmets.

Cost to produce 500 helmets will be $9000.

Step-by-step explanation:

Expression that represents the cost of the bicycle helmets is given as

C = 3000 + 12x

where x = number of helmets produced.

1. Cost of production of 500 helmets can be calculated by putting x = 500 in the expression.

C = 3000 + 12*500

= 3000 + 6000

= $9000

Therefore, cost to produce 500 helmets will be $9000.
