Forty five 80 pound bags of cement are needed to make one cubic yard of concrete.
typically one pallet, i believe theres 42 80lb bags on a pallet.
You'll need 1 cubic yard.
According to the website Concrete Network, in 2008 the average price of concrete in the United States was $75 per cubic yard. That price includes the mixing of the concrete by a professional installer. The website Servicemagic lists the price at $70 per cubic yard.
about 60 60lb bags
1 cubic yd of a concrete mixture contains about 500 hundred lbs of cement

Here's a link to a great concrete calculator that will compute that for you!
The answer is, remarkably, 6. Answer: "6 sack" or "6 bag mix" has six bags of cement per cubic yard of concrete mix. Since each sack/bag contains 94 lbs of dry cement, this equals 564 lbs of cement per cubic yard of concrete.

5 sacks of cement per 1 yard of concrete
It depends on the usage of the concrete. For footings, you would need 5 bags of cement. For sidewalks, etc. you would need 6 bags. Generally, if you know the usage it's for, you can contact a local ready-mix plant and they can tell you exactly.
The cement density is used in the calculation of the total aggregate content and of the concrete density.Normal concrete has a density around 2400 kg/cubic meter or 4048 lb/cubic yard. There are many different kinds of concrete, many of which are much lighter. Cement is the liquid (or paste like) form, and tends to be much heavier than when it has cured into concrete. "Cement" is not concrete, but can be used to make concrete by mixing with sand, stone and water. The density of cement is about 3120kg/m3.

This all depends on the mix you want. I assume you mean cement when you mention the 80lb bag of concrete. I have pushed concrete in my day... Bag cement mix is the same as concrete. Don't be funny. How many 80 pound bags will make 1 yard of concrete? I want a definitive answer this time.
Concrete strength is measured by "bag mix", meaning that the bag mix answers the question, how many bags of cement per yard of concrete. If you're looking for a "6 bag" mix, that means 6 bags of cement per yard of concrete. A "bag" of cement is 1 cubic foot. A yard of concrete is 27 cubic feet (3 X 3 X 3 = 27). If you want to make a "6 bag mix" of concrete, using 1 bag of cement, you would make 1/6 yard concrete with 1 bag of cement. If you would be content with a "5 bag mix", you could make 1/5 yard. Concrete is often defined as ratios of cement,sand,aggregate such as: 1:2:3 which is a very common mix. For a 1:2:3 mix you would need 1/6th of the volume to be cement. The dry ingredients are generally 1.6 x finished concrete volume. Therefore dry volumen for 1 cubic yard = 1.6 cu yards = 43.2 cu ft. 1/6 x 43.2 = 7.2cu ft. Therefore, if one bag is 1 cu ft we need 7.2 bags for a healthy 1:2:3 mix. A '6 bag mix' or a '5 bag mix' are a bit short on cement.
