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 represent the number of quiches they need to sell as x.
The cost of making the quiches is $30 + $0.50x.
To break even, the Spanish Club needs to sell enough quiches to cover this cost. So, they need to sell x quiches for $2 each.
The revenue from selling the quiches is $2x.
To break even, the revenue from selling the quiches should be equal to the cost of making the quiches:
$2x = $30 + $0.50x
Simplifying the equation:
$2x - $0.50x = $30
$1.50x = $30
Dividing both sides of the equation by $1.50:
x = $30 / $1.50
x = 20
Therefore, the Spanish Club will need to sell 20 quiches in order to break even.
