Worked example
24 ft × 24 ft = 576 sq ft. At 4 inches: 576 × 4 ÷ 12 = 192.00 cu ft, or 7.11 cubic yards. With 10% extra that is 7.82 yd³, or 352 bags of 80 lb mix.
At over 1 cubic yard, compare the cost and labor of bags against a ready-mix delivery.
Assumes standard concrete mix bag yields: 80 lb ≈ 0.60 cu ft, 60 lb ≈ 0.45 cu ft. Check the yield on your bag. 1 cubic yard = 27 cubic feet.
