Answer 1

To break even, the total revenue from selling the quiches must equal the total cost of making them.

Let x be the number of quiches to be sold.
Total cost = $30 + $0.50x
Total revenue = $2x

Setting the total cost equal to the total revenue:
$30 + $0.50x = $2x
$30 = $1.50x
x = $30 / $1.50
x = 20

Therefore, the Spanish Club will need to sell 20 quiches in order to break even.

Answer: 20 quiches
