To break even, the Spanish Club needs to cover the cost of making the quiches, which is $30 plus $0.50 per quiche.
Let's call the number of quiches they need to sell X.
The cost of making the quiches is $30 + $0.50*X.
The revenue they will make from selling the quiches is $2*X.
To break even, these two values must be equal, so:
$30 + $0.50*X = $2*X
Subtracting $0.50*X from both sides:
$30 = $1.50*X
Dividing both sides by $1.50:
20 = X
Therefore, the Spanish Club will need to sell 20 quiches in order to break even.
