To break even, the Spanish Club needs to sell enough quiches to cover their costs. The cost to make each quiche is $30 + $0.50 = $<<30+0.5=30.5>>30.5.
To cover the cost, they need to sell enough quiches to make $30.5.
To find out how many quiches they need to sell, divide the cost by the sale price per quiche: $30.5 รท $2 = 15.25.
Since they cannot sell a fraction of a quiche, they need to round up to the nearest whole number.
Therefore, they need to sell 16 quiches in order to break even.
