Generally speaking, 5 lbs of potato salad will fee 30 people. 12 people would be a little over half of that, so around 2.5 lbs of potato salad.

Depends on how many ounces you are serving per person.
The price of green salad is usally about 1.50 i think
18.75 pounds of salad would be needed at 4 oz per person. Four ounces is plenty if you are also serving other dishes. You might round up a few servings to be sure there is enough. However, if you are going to a potluck, then a generously sized bowl of fruit salad is enough.
You would need about 1/4 a pound of chicken salad per person. That will be 17.5 pounds of chicken salad for 70 people.
In my opinion, if your serving along side other food, you should assume 1 serving per person. One serving of pasta is generally 1/4 a cup of dry pasta. Therefore you should cook 17.5 cups of dry pasta, for your pasta salad.

The standard serving suggestion is 4 oz per person. 1.5 lbs will yield six servings.
The normal serving of rib tips per person is normally 4 because they do not contain much meet. If the rib tips are on the small side, then 6 may be a better serving.
I eat approximately 8 ounces of salad every day. I make many different salads and like them all.
The standard serving size is 1 cup (of salad) per person, meaning you'd need 75 cups of macaroni salad, which is about 2 ounces of uncooked macaroni per person. This means a 16 ounce package of macaroni can feed about 8 people, meaning you would need 9 boxes. Of course, this is based on if EVERY person ate it, and EVERY person ate 1 cup of the salad. But, keep in mind, if this is on a buffet (where people dip their own), some people will eat a lot more than 1 cup, some will eat a lot less than 1 cup, and others won't eat ANY--making it balance out.
This would depend on how large the bowl is and how much salad is being made.
You should plan on 1/2 - 1 cup serving per person.
