To break even, the Spanish Club needs to cover the cost of making the quiches, which is $30 for the culinary department plus $0.50 per quiche for ingredients. Let's call the number of quiches they need to sell 'x'.
The cost of making the quiches will be $30 + ($0.50 * x).
The revenue from selling the quiches will be $2 * x.
To break even, the cost of making the quiches must equal the revenue from selling the quiches.
$30 + ($0.50 * x) = $2 * x.
Simplifying:
$30 = $2 * x - ($0.50 * x).
$30 = $1.50 * x.
Dividing both sides of the equation by $1.50:
x = $30 / $1.50.
x = 20.
Therefore, they will need to sell 20 quiches in order to break even.
