Okay, here we have this:

Considering the provided information, we are going to calculate how many bags of fertilizer should be purchased to cover a rectangular lawn that is 29400 square feet, so we obtain the following:

Number of bags=Total space / Space per bag

Number of bags=29400ft² / 2000ft²

Number of bags=14.7

Number of bags≈15 bags of fertilizer.

Finally we obtain that rounded to the nearest unit, 15 bags of fertilizer are needed.
