It depends on what kind of food is in the can; peaches or chili, for example. As a rule of thumb you can figure 24-25 4 fl oz servings to a can. With something like peaches or apricots there may be fewer. The best way to know for sure is to read the nutritional label which will tell you what their suggested portion size is and how many portions there are to a can. You can then calculate how many servings there if you are serving a different portion size. Many manifactures post their nutritional labels online.
A number ten can is 215 cubic inches. This is about 15 cups. If there's a lot of water in the can then the # of servings are reduced. A serving of beans is often 1/2 cup but this is not the same as a portion size (often 2-3 servings). So a number 10 can might have between 25 and 30 servings or 8 to 15 portions.
For instance Furmano's Pinto Beans in a #10 can indicates there is 26 (1/2 cup) servings in 1 can.
If served as a side, 1/2 cup (2 oz) per person should do. Bush's baked beans comes in a 117 oz can. So, you could estimate 58 servings.

16 ounces of green beans would be four 1/2 cup servings.
35-40ish. I'd say make about 4oz (1/2 cup) per person. I just read 1 1/4 gallons serves 50 people. Some people don't even like baked beans so the ones who love it will eat their share :-) Plus consider the other foods available to pick from at the event.
24 -30 servings
Yes, many brands of baked beans are vegan. Just check the label.
There are aproximately 12 servings per pound of dried pinto beans (at 1/2 cup servings cooked). So- in a 50lb bag, there would be 600 servings.

4 #10 cans of baked beans should be enough as a side dish. 8 cans if served as a main meal portion. This is about the same as 15 or 30 quart cans. **a #10 can is just 1 cup smaller than a US gallon, and holds (30) - 1/2 cup servings. 2 to 6 servings = a portion size (the actual portion served). Serving sizes are only a measure of nutritional value and are not actual portion sizes.
