How many lbs of cold cuts do i need to buy for 40 people?

Question

Im having a party tomorrow and I need to know thanks Have a great day.

Answer 1

hm... just figure out how many ounces there will be in a serving.

if you're doing it for sandwiches, when you go to the store ask the deli guy to cut a piece and then weigh it individually.

Let's say it's 2 oz for one piece. If you're counting on two servings per person, that's 4 oz. Multiply that by 40 people, you get 160oz.

Divide 160oz by 16 (16oz in a lb), you get 10 lbs.

Good luck and i hope this helps!
