Mbps is a capacity.
Gigabytes is a transfer amount.

They do not convert exactly.
You will only get a best approximation of the RANGE in Mbps (capacity) that you need.

200GB * 31 = 6200GB per month
=
30Mbps to 42Mbps 95th percentile bandwidth usage.

The amount of GB's you can get out of 1Mbps varies wildly depending on that specific servers traffic patterns. The more peaks and valleys in traffic you have, the LESS GB's per 1Mbps you will get.
The flatter your traffic, the more GB's per 1Mbps you will get.
