Example Calculation

For example, if you input:

• Length: 10 ft
• Width: 5 ft
• Depth: 2 ft
• Bag Weight: 50 lb/bag
• Price per Bag: $5

The calculation steps are:

1. Convert dimensions to feet (if necessary).
2. Calculate volume in cubic feet: \(10 \times 5 \times 2 = 100\) cubic feet.
3. Convert cubic feet to cubic yards: \(100 / 27 \approx 3.70\) cubic yards.
4. Convert cubic yards to tons: \(3.70 \times 1.3 \approx 4.81\) tons (min) and \(3.70 \times 1.5 \approx 5.55\) tons (max).
5. Convert tons to pounds: \(4.81 \times 2000 = 9620\) pounds (min) and \(5.55 \times 2000 = 11100\) pounds (max).
6. Calculate the number of bags: \(9620 / 50 = 193\) bags (min) and \(11100 / 50 = 222\) bags (max).
7. Calculate total cost: \((193 + 222) / 2 \times 5 = \$1037.50\).
