3000 + (12*500)

3000+6000

$9000

Answer 2

Cost to produce 500 helmets will be $9000.

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.
