The total cost to make one quiche is $30 + $0.50 = $30.50
The selling price for one quiche is $2
Break-even point = Total cost / Selling price
Break-even point = $30.50 / $2
Break-even point = 15.25
Since they cannot sell a fraction of a quiche, they will need to sell at least 16 quiches to break even.
Therefore, the correct answer is 20 quiches.
