Estimates the bags of fertilizer needed to cover an area based on the concentration of nitrogen and bag size.

Fertilizer is labeled with three numbers indicating the key ingredients: Nitrogen (N) , Phosphorus (P), and Potassium (K). Nitrogen (N) is always listed first. The numbers represent the percentage weight of each element in the fertilizer formulation. Nitrogen, a key ingredient in plant growth and health, is usually added at the rate of lbs./sq. ft.

- Width: Width of the area to be fertilized.

- Length: Length of the area to be fertilized.

- Bag: Weight of the fertilizer bag to be used.

- Nitrogen Content: Concentration of the nitrogen in the bag (first number in series of 3).

- Coverage: Yield (coverage) of the bag to be used.

- Nitrogen/Bag: Amount of nitrogen per bag.

- Nitrogen: Nitrogen coverage per 1000 square feet.

- Desired: Desired concentration of nitrogen.

- #Bags: Number of bags of fertilizer needed to accomplish the desired concentration of nitrogen.

Estimate the bags of nitrogen based fertilizer needed for a lawn that is 120ft 8in wide and 220ft 8in long. The fertilizer to be used is 26-15-20 with a yield of 5000 square feet. The bag size is 19 lbs. The desired coverage is 3 pounds of nitrogen per 1000 square feet.
