How much concrete, mulch, gravel or soil to buy

How many bags of concrete for a 10x12 slab, 6 inches thick?

A 10x12 slab 6 inches thick needs 60.0 cubic feet (2.22 cubic yards) of concrete: about 110 bags of 80 lb mix with 10% extra.

That is over a cubic yard. A ready-mix truck delivery (about 2.44 yards) is usually cheaper and easier than mixing 110 bags by hand.
