To break even, the amount earned from selling the quiches must be equal to the cost of making them.
The total cost of making the quiches is $30 + ($0.50 * number of quiches).
The total revenue earned from selling the quiches is $2 * number of quiches.
To break even, the equation will be:
$30 + ($0.50 * number of quiches) = $2 * number of quiches.
To solve for the number of quiches needed to break even:
30 + (0.50 * number of quiches) = 2 * number of quiches
30 + 0.50 * number of quiches = 2 * number of quiches
30 = 1.50 * number of quiches
number of quiches = 30 / 1.50
number of quiches = 20.
Therefore, they will need to sell 20 quiches in order to break even.
So, the correct answer is: 20 quiches.
