Forum rules
Dear convert-me.com forum visitors,
Our forum has been available for many years. In September 2014 we decided to switch it to read-only mode. Month after month we saw less posts with questions and answers from real people and more spam posts. We were spending more and more resources cleaning the spam until there were less them 1 legitimate message per 100 spam posts. Then we decided it's time to stop.
All the posts in the forum will be available and searchable. We understand there are a lot of useful information and we aren't going to remove anything. As for the new questions, you can always ask them on convert-me.com FaceBook page
Thank you for being with us and sorry for any inconveniences this could caused.

I have an area that is 783 square feet. The price of the product that I want is $32.90 per cubic yard. How do I convert into how much it's going to cost me?

To determine the volume you need, you need to know the area (which you have) and the thickness you want. You may know the thickness in inches, but divide by 12 to express in feet.
Lets suppose you want it 6" thick, which is 0.5 ft. Then the volume you need is 783 sq. ft x 0.5 ft = 391.5 cu ft.
There are 27 cu ft/ cu yard, so 391.5 x 1/27 = 14.5 cu yd. You will probably need to order 15 cu yd.
