Ely Flores pleaded guilty to a two-count indictment that charged him with conspiring to distribute and knowingly possessing more than five grams of cocaine base (crack cocaine) in violation of 21 U.S.C. §§ 841(a)(1) and (b)(1)(C), 846. Flores appeals the sentence he received after the district court applied U.S.S.G. § 2D1.1 to convert cash seized from a safe at Flores’s residence to a drug equivalent for pur *724 poses of determining Flores’s base offense level.

Section 2D1.1 provides for the conversion of cash to a drug equivalent when drugs are not seized or when the amount seized does not reflect the scale of the offense. § 2D1.1, comment (n.12). Given that 41.04 grams of cocaine base, which has a street value of $500 an ounce, does not reflect the amount of cocaine base Flores would have to sell to earn $16,920, the amount of drugs seized did not accurately reflect the scale of Flores’s offense. Thus, the district court did not err when it applied Note 12 to § 2D1.1 to convert the cash to a drug equivalent in determining Flores’s sentence. See United States v. Henderson, 254 F.3d 543, 544 (5th Cir. 2001); United States v. McCaskey, 9 F.3d 368, 375 (5th Cir. 1993).

AFFIRMED.
