Spanish club at Santa Fe middle school wants to sell mini quiches to raise money for a field trip the culinary department after school will make quiches for $30 plus $0.50 per quiches ingredients. The Spanish club wants to sell each quiches For two dollars how many quiches where they need to sell in order to break even

Answer 1

To break even, the Spanish club needs to cover the cost of making the quiches, which is $30 plus $0.50 per quiche.

Let's say they need to sell x number of quiches to break even.

The cost of making x quiches is $30 + $0.50x.

To break even, the Spanish club needs to sell the quiches for $2 each.

So, the revenue from selling x quiches is $2x.

To break even, we can set the cost equal to the revenue:
$30 + $0.50x = $2x

Subtract $0.50x from both sides:
$30 = $1.50x

Divide both sides by $1.50:
x = 20

Therefore, the Spanish club needs to sell at least 20 quiches in order to break even.
