To break even, the total cost of making the quiches must equal the total revenue from selling them.
Total cost = $30 + ($0.50 per quiche) * x, where x is the number of quiches
Total revenue = $2 * x
Setting these two equal:
$30 + ($0.50 * x) = $2 * x
$30 + $0.50x = $2x
$30 = $1.50x
x = 20
Therefore, they will need to sell 20 quiches to break even.
The Spanish Club at Santa Fe Middle School wants to sell mini quiches to raise money for a field trip.
