20 quiches
45 quiches
Explanation:
Total cost = $30 + ($0.50 x number of quiches)
Total revenue = $2 x number of quiches
Break even point:
$30 + ($0.50 x number of quiches) = $2 x number of quiches
$30 + $0.50 x = $2 x
$0.50 x = $2 x - $30
$0.50 x = $2x - $30
$30 = $1.50 x
x = 20
Therefore, they will need to sell 45 quiches to break even.
