20 guests times 2 cups of punch each = 40 cups of punch drunk total.
Then take that off the 8 gallon original amount of punch
(according to google 8 gallons is 30.2833L)
Assuming that 1 cup = 236.6 mL,
40*236.6=9464mL=9.464L,
then the estimate is
30.2833-9.464=20.8143L total.

1 quart is equivalent to 0.25 gallons.
4 cups are equivalent to 1 quart.
So, 4 cups are equivalent to 0.25 gallons.
Therefore, 1 cup is equivalent to 0.25 ÷ 4 = 0.0625 gallons.
Now, the host has 8 gallons of punch for his party.
That is equivalent to 8 ÷ 0.0625 = 128 cuos.
Also, there are 20 guests at the party, and each guest will drink 2 cups of punch.
In total, the guests will drink 20 × 2 = 40 cups of punch.
If his estimate is correct, there will be 128-40=88 cups of punch left at the party.
This is also equivalent to 88 × 0.0625 = 5.5 gallons.
