That dependsThat depends upon how deep you wish to cover the area. It also depends upon the moisture content of the soil in the bags. Bagged soil is usually pretty wet, so you're paying for water, to a certain extent.

Moist topsoil weighs about 90 pounds per cubic foot, so a 40-pound bag is less than half a cubic foot -- 0.44 cubic foot, to be more exact.

So, you're going to need about 34 bags -- FOR EVERY INCH OF DEPTH !! -- to cover the area. If the dirt isn't too wet, you might get away with 30 bags per inch of depth.

**Actually a 40lbs bag is closer to .75cf. **

If a circular garden has a diameter of 12 feet how many bags of topsoil must you buy to cover the garden if one bag covers an area of three square feet?

The area of a circle is determined by multiplying the square of its radius by the constant pi. The radius is defined as one half the diameter. The value of pi is 3.14. So, 3.14 * 62 = 113.1 square feet. Since a bag of topsoil covers three square feet, you will need 38 bags, because 113.1 square feet divided by three square feet per bag yields 37.7 bags.
