To break even, the Spanish Club needs to earn back the $30 for the culinary department's labor and the cost of ingredients, which is $0.50 per quiche.
Let's denote the number of quiches they need to sell as x.
The total cost for the ingredients is 0.50x.
The total cost, including labor, is 30 + 0.50x.
To break even, they need to sell enough quiches to cover the total cost.
Since they sell each quiche for $2, the total revenue from selling x quiches is 2x.
To break even, the total revenue should be equal to the total cost:
2x = 30 + 0.50x
Subtracting 0.50x from both sides:
1.50x = 30
Dividing by 1.50:
x = 20
Therefore, they will need to sell 20 quiches in order to break even.
