To break even, the Spanish Club needs to cover the cost of making the quiches, which is $30 for the base cost plus $0.50 per quiche for the ingredients.
Let's assume they need to sell x number of quiches to break even.
The total cost of making x quiches would be:
$30 + $0.50x = cost of making x quiches
The Spanish Club will sell each quiche for $2.
Therefore, the total revenue from selling x quiches would be:
$2x = revenue from selling x quiches
To break even, the revenue from selling x quiches should cover the cost of making x quiches.
So, we can set up the following equation:
$2x = $30 + $0.50x
Simplifying the equation, we get:
$1.50x = $30
Dividing both sides of the equation by $1.50, we get:
x = $30 / $1.50 = 20 quiches
Therefore, the Spanish Club needs to sell 20 quiches in order to break even.
