yd = yard
ft = foot
in = inch
1 yd = 3 ft
1 ft = 12 in
The area a in ft² is then
12 ft * 150 ft = 1800 ft²
And in yd²
4 yd * 50 yd = 200 yd²
finishing costs are $2.00 per square foot:
$2.00 * 1800 ft² = $3,600.00
------------------------------------
The concrete layer shall be 6 in thick and there are (3 * 12 in = 36 in) in a yard.
1 yd³ = 1 yd² * 36 in, and
36 in / 6 in = 6 layers of concrete, 1 yd² each. So, 1 yd³ will suffice for 6 yd² of the driveway. There are 200 yd² :
200 / 6 = 100 / 3 ≈ 33.33 yd³ of concrete will be needed.
Concrete cost is $135 per cubic yard:
$135 * 33.33yd³ = $4,499.55
We round generously up to: $4,500
and add the finishing cost:
$4,500.00 +
$3,600.00
----------------
$8,100.00
total cost for your new driveway.
