The Spanish Club at Santa Fe Middle School wants to sell mini 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?(1 point)
Responses
20 quiches
45 quiches
12 quiches
75 quiches
To break even, the Spanish Club needs to cover the cost of making the quiches.
The cost of making each quiche is $30 + $0.50 = $<<30+0.50=30.50>>30.50.
To find the number of quiches that need to be sold to break even, divide the total cost by the selling price per quiche: $30.50 / $2 = <<30.50/2=15.25>>15.25 quiches.
Since the Spanish Club cannot sell a fraction of a quiche, they will need to sell at least 16 quiches to break even.
Therefore, the correct answer is not given in the options.
