The price can vary widely across the world depending on the availability, type, and whether it is a wholesale or retail value. Here in the irrigated western US, a farmer will normally get paid around $20 US per bushel of pinto beans.
A bushel of green pinto beans weighs about sixty pounds. This is the seed itself rather than the harvested bean which can weigh more when wet or when first harvested.
A bushel is 8 gallons and each bushel of produce (based on tomatoes, corn, beets, peppers, and squash) generally weighs 50 pounds. Therefore, each gallon would weigh 6.25 pounds (50 divided by 8). So 5 gallons would weigh approximately 30.25 pounds. This is not precise as it will depend how tightly the beans are packed, but it should be close.
Each pound bag of dry pinto beans contains about 12 (½ cup) servings after cooking. Eight pounds of pinto beans will therefore serve 96 people.
2.4 pounds
To serve pinto beans as a side dish for 400 people, you typically need about 1/4 to 1/3 cup of cooked beans per person. This translates to approximately 1/8 to 1/6 cup of dried beans per person, which is about 50-67 pounds of dried pinto beans in total, considering that dried beans roughly triple in weight when cooked. Therefore, you should plan for around 60 pounds of dried pinto beans to adequately feed 400 people as a side dish.

six pounds of dry beans
To determine the amount of pinto beans needed for 100 people, we must consider the typical serving size and the weight of a pound of pinto beans. A standard serving size of cooked pinto beans is around 1/2 cup, and a pound of dried pinto beans yields about 6 cups when cooked. Therefore, for 100 people, assuming each person consumes one serving, you would need approximately 17 pounds of dried pinto beans (100 servings ÷ 6 cups per pound).
To determine how many pounds of pinto beans you need to serve 75 people, you first need to calculate the serving size per person. A typical serving of cooked pinto beans is about 1/2 cup. With 75 people, you would need approximately 37.5 cups of cooked beans. One pound of dried pinto beans yields about 6 cups when cooked, so you would need roughly 6.25 pounds of dried pinto beans to serve 75 people.

2000 pounds of anything, including beans, is a US ton (short ton).
Assuming a serving size of 1/2 cup cooked pinto beans per person, a pound of dry pinto beans yields about 6 cups of cooked beans. Therefore, 2 pounds of dry pinto beans would yield approximately 12 cups of cooked beans. With each person consuming about 1/2 cup, 2 pounds of dry pinto beans could feed around 24 people.
