Estimate thinset or adhesive bags for a tile job.
The pounds of adhesive per square foot come from the bag coverage, and total weight is then divided back into whole bags. Notched trowel size changes coverage, so knowing the per-bag yield keeps you from running out mid-floor.
Tile Adhesive
Bags = area x (bag weight / coverage) / bag weight
