Question

the spanish club at santa fe middle school wants to sell quiches to raise money for a field trip. the culinary department at their school will make the quiches for 30$ plus $0.50 per quiche for the ingredients. the Spanish club wants to sell each quiche for 2$. how many quiches will they need to sell in order to break even

Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To break even, the Spanish club needs to cover the cost of making the quiches.

The cost of making one quiche is $30 (culinary department) + $0.50 (ingredients) = $30.50 per quiche.

The selling price of one quiche is $2.

To find the number of quiches needed to break even, divide the cost of making the quiches by the selling price of one quiche:

$30.50 ÷ $2 = 15.25

Therefore, the Spanish club needs to sell at least 16 quiches in order to break even.

To calculate the number of quiches the Spanish club needs to sell in order to break even, we'll have to consider the cost of making the quiches and the selling price.

Let's break down the costs:

1. The cost of making one quiche by the culinary department is $30 for labor plus $0.50 for ingredients. So the total cost per quiche is $30 + $0.50 = $30.50.

2. The selling price of each quiche is $2.

To find the break-even point, we need to divide the cost of making the quiches by the selling price:

Break-even point = Total cost / Selling price

Break-even point = $30.50 / $2

Break-even point = 15.25

So the Spanish club will need to sell at least 16 quiches (rounding up from 15.25) in order to break even.

To determine the number of quiches the Spanish club needs to sell in order to break even, we need to calculate the total cost of making the quiches and compare it to the total revenue from selling them.

First, let's calculate the cost per quiche:
Cost per quiche = Cost of ingredients per quiche + Culinary department fee
Cost per quiche = $0.50 + $30 = $30.50

Next, let's calculate the revenue per quiche:
Revenue per quiche = Selling price of each quiche
Revenue per quiche = $2

To break even, the total revenue should be equal to the total cost:
Total revenue = Total cost

Let's assume the number of quiches the Spanish club needs to sell is represented by 'x'.

Total revenue = Revenue per quiche * Number of quiches = $2 * x
Total cost = Cost per quiche * Number of quiches = $30.50 * x

Setting the revenue equal to the cost:

$2 * x = $30.50 * x

Now, let's solve for 'x' to find the number of quiches they need to sell:

Dividing both sides of the equation by x:

$2 = $30.50

Since these two values are not equal, it implies that there is no value of 'x' that satisfies the equation. Thus, the Spanish club cannot break even by selling quiches alone.

To cover their costs, they need to sell more than just quiches. They could consider other fundraising ideas or find additional sources of revenue to cover the cost of the field trip.
