Depends on the weight of the horse, the age of the horse, how hard the horse is working, the type of grain, and how well they keep their weight on just hay. The nutritional value of the hay your horse is being fed can also affect how much grain your horse needs.
If you are trying to put weight on, the horse generally needs more grain. If you're trying to reduce the weight of your horse, they generally need less or none at all.
If a horse is not being worked at all, they do not need grain unless they cannot keep weight on with out it.

How much food in weight will 100 horses that work eat a day?
Well this will vary according to the work being done and the weight of the horse. I'll use an average 1200 pound horse. So feeding at a rate of 2.5% bodyweight a 1200 pound horse needs 30 pounds of food daily. Now comes the fun part, figuring out how much is fed based on work load. A lightly worked horse typically only needs hay so 100 horses eating 30 pounds eat = 3,000 pounds a day. For a horse in moderate work (Basically anything other than endurance, eventing, and racing) then the horse will need supplemental grain or pellets. So about 5 pounds is roughly average grain wise so that makes 25 pounds of hay and 5 pounds of grain totaling 2500 pounds of hay and 500 pounds of grain a day for 100 horses in moderate work. Now for horses in heavy work the pounds of grain may jump to around 10 so that's 20 pounds hay 10 pounds grain, that totals 2000 pounds of hay and 1000 pounds of grain in one day. But keep in mind that not all horses can or will eat the exact same amount of feed as another horse, so actual numbers may vary a bit.
How much food can a horse eat in a day?

Absolutely not. A horse would most likely die from a diet of just carrots. Horses need forage (like grass or hay) daily to keep things flowing in their digestive tracks.

How many flakes a day do you feed a 15 hand horse with 4 qt of grain?
Feeding by a flake and quart or scoop method is very incorrect and can cause weight and health problems in horses. A horse should be fed based on it's body weight, typically 1.5% to 3% of it's bodyweight. The horses height really plays no part in assessing the amount of food the horse needs. As an example a 1000 pound horse would need 15 to 30 pounds of food a day (1.5% to 3%). The majority of it should be forage such as hay or grass and if the horse needs the extra calories, then a grain or pelleted feed can be added.
