Figure out how much to allow per person (how big is a serving? what else is being served? can people have seconds?) and divide. For instance, if you think 1/4 pound (dry) is reasonable per person, you'd divide 250 by 4 to get the number of pounds. Do you want to allow 10% extra so you don't run out? Then increase your result by 10% (or use 275 instead of 250 as your starting number).
To determine the amount of pasta needed for a pasta salad for 150 people, you must consider the serving size per person. A typical serving size for pasta salad is around 1 cup per person. Therefore, for 150 people, you would need approximately 150 cups of cooked pasta. This translates to roughly 9-10 pounds of dried pasta, depending on the type and shape of pasta used. It's important to adjust this estimate based on the specific recipe and any additional ingredients included in the pasta salad.

A good amount of pasta salad for 40 people would be 5 pounds total... just had a party for 40 people and that's what we had, and there was just a bit left over
That is 87.5 pounds
no, you need lots more then ten pounds
It depends on what type of pasta is used and what the other ingredients in the salad are. This is way to general of a question.

It depends if you only serve pasta salad or something else with it. When you serve only the pasta salad - I would use 6 packages ( 6 pounds ) of pasta, 6 tin peas, 24 tomatoes, 8 onions, 2 pounds ham, 6 tin corn, 3 red pepper. If you want to serve this to a bbq - I would recommend a quarter of the recipe above.
Pasta salad can be either savory or sweet.
It always helps in this type of question if you say it is a main meal or a starterAs a main pasta dish I would usually start with 4 oz of dry pasta per person. With the swelling of pasta and sauce, this will become 12-14 ounces of food per serving. A pasta salad can be just a starter or a main dish. - As a starter salad use 2 oz dry per person.
