Donna is catering for a party. She makes 20 sandwiches and then cuts them in half, before cutting them in half again. She then gives everyone 8 portions. How many people can she feed?

First, we need to determine the overall number of portions. To do this, we begin by performing 20 * 2 = 40 portions after the first halving. Next, we take this portion number and double it again, performing 40 * 2 = 80 portions after the second halving. Lastly, we divide this portion number by the number of portions each person will be served, performing 80 / 8 = 10 people served.
Thus, the answer is 10.
