The total cost of making the quiches is $30 (initial cost) + $0.50 (cost per quiche) = $30 + $0.50x

The total revenue from selling the quiches is $2x, where x is the number of quiches sold.

To break even, the total cost must equal the total revenue:

$30 + $0.50x = $2x

$30 = $1.50x

x = 20

Therefore, the Spanish Club will need to sell 20 quiches in order to break even.

Answer: 20 quiches
