| Calculate servings (as main dish) | 85 eaters × 3 sliders per person | 255 base servings |
| Apply New Year's Eve party modifier | × 1 (0% for sliders) | 255 sliders needed |
| Convert to dozen | 255 sliders ÷ 12 per dozen | 21.3 dozen (raw) |
| Add 15% buffer & round up | 21.3 × 1.15 = 24.5, rounded up | 25 dozen |
