45 quiches

Calculation:
Cost to make quiches = $30 + ($0.50 x # of quiches)
Selling price per quiche = $2

Break-even point:
$30 + ($0.50 x # of quiches) = $2 x # of quiches
$30 + ($0.50 x # of quiches) = $2 x # of quiches
$30 + $0.50# = $2#
$30 = $1.50#
# = 30 / 1.50
# = 20

Therefore, the Spanish Club will need to sell 45 quiches to break even.
