To break even, the Spanish Club needs to cover the cost of making the quiches, which is $30 + $0.50 per quiche. They want to sell the quiches for $2 each.
Let's set up the equation to find the number of quiches they need to sell:
Cost to make quiches = Revenue from selling quiches
$30 + $0.50 * x = $2 * x
Where x is the number of quiches they need to sell.
Now, let's solve for x:
$30 + $0.50x = $2x
Subtract $0.50x from both sides:
$30 = $1.50x
Divide both sides by $1.50:
x = $30 / $1.50
x = 20
Therefore, the Spanish Club will need to sell 20 quiches in order to break even.
