45 quiches
45 quiches
Explanation:
Total cost to make the quiches = $30 + $0.50 per quiche
Total cost = $30 + ($0.50 * x) where x is the number of quiches
Total revenue = $2 * x
To break even, total cost = total revenue
$30 + ($0.50 * x) = $2 * x
$30 + $0.50x = $2x
$30 = $2x - $0.50x
$30 = $1.50x
x = $30 / $1.50
x = 20
Therefore, they will need to sell 45 quiches to break even.
