1/4 lb. per person 100lb. should be enough
if you have 50 people you have to make like 100 briskets cause some people might want extras Actually there are a few unknowns that the question does not explain - I will usually purchase 1 lb (trimmed) brisket per person. So if I am having 8 to 10 people to feed, I will prepare around 10 lbs. brisket - this might be two 5 lb. briskets as long as it adds up to roughly one pound per person (before cooking).
I put about a half a pound on my plate. I like brisket... a lot... therefore, a lot of brisket, please.

3 ounces of brisket is equivalent to approximately 85 grams.
On an average of 1/2 lb per person, you would need 100 lbs of brisket.
I would estimate about a half pound per person. In other words, quite a lot!
For a plate sale, it's generally recommended to allocate about 1/3 to 1/2 pound of cooked brisket per person. Therefore, for 450 people, you would need approximately 150 to 225 pounds of cooked brisket. Keep in mind that brisket shrinks during cooking, so it's advisable to start with a larger raw weight, typically around 60% more, resulting in about 375 to 450 pounds of raw brisket. Adjustments can be made based on the specific appetite of your guests and other menu items.
A 13-pound brisket typically serves about 8 to 10 people, depending on portion sizes and whether it's part of a larger meal with sides. Generally, you can estimate about 1 pound of raw brisket per person, but the cooking process reduces its weight. If served with plenty of sides, it may stretch to feed more.
