To calculate the break-even point, we need to determine the total cost of making the quiches and divide that by the selling price per quiche.
The total cost of making the quiches is $30 (fixed cost) plus $0.50 (variable cost) per quiche.
Let's calculate the break-even point:
Break-even point = Total cost / Selling price
Break-even point = ($30 + $0.50x) / $2
To solve for x (the number of quiches), we can cross-multiply and solve the equation:
2($30 + $0.50x) = $2x
$60 + $1x = $2x
$60 = $2x - $1x
$60 = $x
Therefore, they will need to sell 60 quiches in order to break even.
None of the provided answer choices include 60 quiches, so the correct response is not listed.
The Spanish Club at Santa Fe Middle School wants to sell mini 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 point)
