53). 100 servings / 20 people = (100/20) (svngs/ppl)

= 5 servings per person.

Each person gets 1/20 = 5% = 0.05 of the pan.

54). 100 servings / 40 people = (100/40) (svngs/ppl)

= 2.5 servings per person.

Each person gets 1/40 = 2.5% = 0.025 of the pan.

55). 100 servings / 30 people = (100/30) (svngs/ppl)

= (3 and 1/3) servings per person.

Each person gets 1/30 = (3 and 1/3) % = 0.0333 ... of the pan.
