Try using the quikrete calculator.
For 27 cubic feet I used the calculator with 54 ft. and looked at the 6 inch slab to get the numbers for a yard.
60# bags: you need 60 of them
80# bags: you will need 45

Depends on the size of the bag. A yard is 27 cubic feet, so check the bag for how many cubic feet of concrete it will provide, and figure it from there. An 80 lb bag provides about 0.6 cubic feet of cured concrete. A 60 lb bag provides about 0.45 cubic feet. Or for reference, there are 3600 lbs of dry concrete mix in a cubic yard, so divide 3600 by the size of the bag to get how many you need. 80 lb bag = 45 bags 60 lb bag = 60 bags You may look into having pre-mixed concrete delivered if you have a large area, it may be cheaper, and a lot less work.

It's generally cheaper (and quicker) to order ready mix and have it delivered. There are rental outlets that operate small batch plants that can provide trailer mixes up to a couple of yards for about $95. and it would save your back and arms from mixing 30 bags of sack mix.
Bags of sack mix vary in size from a 1/2 cubic foot to 1 cubic foot. So you'd be looking at 27 bags to make a yard for one cubic foot bag, double that on the 1/2 cubic foot bags.

A 60# bag of sackcrete is 0.5cf so 54 bags would be 27cf or 1 cy. If you are mixing more than 6 or 8 bags may I suggest you rent a mixer, it can get very tiring mixing all those bags by hand.

The bag should say what it will cover. If it says 3 square feet coverage, then you would need 9 bags of the premix. A cubic yard is 3 feet by 3ft by 3 feet, or 1 foot by 1 foot by 27 feet.

One yard of concrete weighs 3,680 pounds so 3680/80=46 so it will take 46 80# bags of premix to pour 0ne cubic yard $3.80 per bag at our local Lowes 3.80*46=174.80 per yard 90. yard at our local readymix

An 80 lb bag is one cubic foot. 1'x1'x1'. A cubic yard is 3'x3'x3'. 3x3=9x3=27.
so there is 27 bags in one cubic yard. 27x$3.30= $89
