The Spanish Club at Santa Fe Middle School wants to sell mini quiches to raise money for a field trip. The culinary department at their school will make the quiches for $30 plus $0.50 per quiche for the ingredients. The Spanish Club wants to sell each quiche for $2. How many quiches will they need to sell in order to break even?

Answer 1

The total cost to make one quiche is $30 + $0.50 = $<<30+0.50=30.50>>30.50.
The Spanish Club needs to sell a total of $30.50 / $2 = <<30.50/2=15.25>>15.25 quiches to break even.
Since the Spanish Club cannot sell a fraction of a quiche, they will need to sell a total of 16 quiches in order to break even. Answer: \boxed{16}.
