Answer 1

To break even, the Spanish Club needs to cover the cost of making the quiches.

The cost of making each quiche is $30 + $0.50 = $30.50.

Therefore, they need to sell $30.50 worth of quiches to break even.

To find out how many quiches they need to sell, divide the break-even amount by the selling price per quiche:

$30.50 / $2 = 15.25 quiches.

Since they cannot sell a fraction of a quiche, they would need to sell at least 16 quiches to break even.

The closest option to 16 quiches is 12 quiches, which is the correct answer.
