Your calculations are off unless it's assumed each employee eats an entire pizza. Not to mention bulk discount.

They said they spend $200 to throw a party for the team of 12. It doesn’t matter whether or not everyone ate it. They spent the money.

You can also further assume bulk discounts are irrelevant because not all teams will have parties at the same time.

Read the original comment slowly this time, and notice what the “12” refers to. There’s only one “12”, should be easy.

		Napkin math to get a feel for scale: 12 pizzas. Let’s say large. That’s 12 slices each? Average person eats let’s say 3 slices (some won’t eat, some have one, some have four, some, like me, have brains that are perpetually stuck on Grad School and will embezzle slices until there’s no leftovers). So 144 slices could do maybe 48 (let’s say 50 people). So that’s give or take $4 per person. That’s one of those “a travel booking error worth of money brings a subjective amount of joy, and the only wrong move would be to stop unless the team wants it to stop” things. Which is absolutely ripe for some Director of Couch Spelunking to earn their Golden Monocle award for making the spreadsheet show brackets around budgets and win a trip to Boise.
