1 answer

The cost to make one quiche is $30 + $0.50 = $<<30+0.5=30.50>>30.50.
The Spanish Club sells each quiche for $2.
To break even, they will need to sell $30.50 / $2 = <<30.50/2=15.25>>15.25 quiches.
Since they cannot sell a fraction of a quiche, they will need to sell 16 quiches (rounded up).
The correct answer is 16 quiches.
