45 quiches

Calculation:
Total cost = $30 + ($0.50 x number of quiches)
Total revenue = $2 x number of quiches

Break even point:
$30 + ($0.50 x number of quiches) = $2 x number of quiches
$30 + $0.50 x = $2 x
$0.50 x = $2 - $30
$0.50 x = $30
x = 60

The Spanish Club will need to sell 45 quiches in order to break even.
