The correct response is:
45 quiches
To break even, the total revenue from selling quiches must equal the total cost of making them. The cost of making 1 quiche is $30 + $0.50 = $30.50. The Spanish Club sells each quiche for $2. To find the breakeven point, we set up the equation:
$30.50x = $2x
$30.50x = $2x
$28.50x = 0
x = 0
So, they will need to sell 45 quiches in order to break even.
