Keep in mind that burger patties in restaurants come in four typical sizes, 1/4, 1/3, 1/2, & 3/4 pound patties. The average person can be expected to eat the 1/2 pound patty at a typical barbecue. Multiply 40 by 1/2 and you get 20 pounds. Keep in mind, the leaner the meat, the less the shrinkage, but greater leanness means less fat, and less taste (unless you add some). Give me an Angus bacon and cheese with no onions, pickles, tomatoes, Just leave lettuce, bacon, patty, and buns.

Asked in Ground Beef
How much ground beef is there in an average cow?
A dressed market beef carcass in the United States averages
about 900 pounds, bone-in. The boneless portion of this is about
650 pounds. If all of this were to be ground, you could get
approximately 2600 quarter-pound hamburgers from a single cow.
However, most carcasses are not completely diverted to ground
beef. Ground beef is generally made from the trimmings from more
expensive cuts of meat (sirloin, tenderloin, ribeye, etc.). A
reasonable estimate would be only 150 pounds of trim from a single
carcass, which would be approximately 600 quarter-pound hamburgers
from a single cow.
