The Spanish club at Santa Fe middle school wants to sell mini quiches to raise money for a field trip. The culinary department at their school will make the quiches for $30 plus $.50 per quiche for the ingredients. The Spanish club wants to sell each quiche for two dollars. How many quiches will they need to sell in order to break even.

Answer 1

The cost of ingredients for each quiche is $.50, so the total cost per quiche is $30 + $.50 = $<<30+.5=30.5>>30.50.
The selling price is $2 per quiche.
In order to break even, the Spanish club will need to sell $30.50/$2 = <<30.5/2=15.25>>15.25 quiches.
Since they can't sell a fractional number of quiches, the Spanish club will need to sell 16 quiches in order to break even. Answer: \boxed{16}.
