To determine how many lemonades Jenny needs to sell to break even, we can use the following formula:

\[
\text{Break-even point (in units)} = \frac{\text{Total costs}}{\text{Price per lemonade}}
\]

Jenny's total costs are $20, and she sells each lemonade for $0.50.

Calculating the break-even point:

\[
\text{Break-even point} = \frac{20}{0.50} = 40
\]

Thus, Jenny needs to sell **40 lemonades** to break even.
