the spanish club at santa fe middle school wants to sell quiches to raise money for a field trip. the culinary department at their school will make the quiches for 30$ plus $0.50 per quiche for the ingredients. the Spanish club wants to sell each quiche for 2$. how many quiches will they need to sell in order to break even

1 answer

To break even, the Spanish club needs to cover the cost of making the quiches.

The cost of making one quiche is $30 (culinary department) + $0.50 (ingredients) = $30.50 per quiche.

The selling price of one quiche is $2.

To find the number of quiches needed to break even, divide the cost of making the quiches by the selling price of one quiche:

$30.50 รท $2 = 15.25

Therefore, the Spanish club needs to sell at least 16 quiches in order to break even.
