Dimensional analysis

Every 3 oranges squeezed yields 10 oz of juice.

A cup of juice is 8 oz. Thus, in order to make a cup of juice, the number of oranges required will be:

                 3 x 8/10 = 2.4 oranges.

For 2 cups = 2.4 x 2 = 4.8 oranges.

Each guest wants to have 2 cups of juice. This means that each guest needs 4.8 oranges in order to have 2 cups of juice.

There are 62 guests in total. The total number of oranges required can, thus, be estimated as;

         62 x 4.8 = 148.8 oranges

Since there are no orange fractions, it means that a total of 149 oranges will be required in order to take care of the guest.
