45 quiches

To break even, the Spanish Club needs to cover the cost of making the quiches, which is $30 for labor and $0.50 per quiche for ingredients. So, the total cost per quiche is $30 + $0.50 = $30.50.

If they sell each quiche for $2, they will make a profit of $2 - $0.50 = $1.50 per quiche.

To break even, they need to sell $30 / $1.50 = 20 quiches.
