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

The cost of making the quiches is $30 + $0.50 per quiche. Let's call the number of quiches they need to sell x.

The cost of making the quiches is $30 + $0.50x.

The Spanish Club wants to sell each quiche for $2.

To break even, the amount of money they make from selling quiches needs to be equal to the cost of making the quiches:

$2x = $30 + $0.50x

Subtracting $0.50x from both sides:

$2x - $0.50x = $30

$1.50x = $30

Dividing both sides by $1.50:

x = $30 / $1.50

x = 20

Therefore, they will need to sell 20 quiches in order to break even.

The correct answer is: 20 quiches.
