10 lbs...
To determine how many 10 lbs bags of potatoes are needed to feed 200 people, we first need to calculate the total weight of potatoes required. Assuming each person will consume around 0.5 lbs of potatoes, the total weight needed would be 200 people x 0.5 lbs/person = 100 lbs. Since each bag contains 10 lbs of potatoes, you would need 100 lbs / 10 lbs/bag = 10 bags of potatoes to feed 200 people.
