presumably they are having other food also. So 10 people should use 3 can of beans
I would NEVER feed guests canned beans. -Fresh are tastier, healthier and only a fraction more costly.
8 #10 cans
You need about 10 twenty eight ounce cans
Depends on if the people really like baked beans nor not.
A half a cup of baked beans is a serving. To serve 100 people, you would need about 50 cups of baked beans. You might want to make a little more to account for people taking more than one serving.
4 #10 cans of baked beans should be enough as a side dish. 8 cans if served as a main meal portion. This is about the same as 15 or 30 quart cans. **a #10 can is just 1 cup smaller than a US gallon, and holds (30) - 1/2 cup servings. 2 to 6 servings = a portion size (the actual portion served). Serving sizes are only a measure of nutritional value and are not actual portion sizes.
I would use 150 cans

it depends on how much people want!
As part of a meal one 17 ozs can will feed 2 people so you need 100 cans.
Lennie and George share one can of beans.
Without knowing what kind of dish you are serving the red beans in, this will be an estimate. For straight red beans, served as a side dish, you can estimate that each person will eat approximately 1/2 c of beans. For 150 people, this is 75 cups. Each can tends to have about 1 cup worth of beans in it, so you would need 75 cans of red beans.
Approximately 7.5 pounds
3000 since the average serving contains 150 beans.
