Question:Hi ,this would be the average size bags of mulch im thinking about 15 bags ? am i right?
Answers:
Bags of mulch usually come in 2 cu. ft. and 3 cu. ft. sizes, it would take 14 of the 2 cu. ft. and 9 of the 3 cu. ft. bags to make a cubic yard.
Sounds good.
You can get it for way chaper if you buy in bulk. I usually get mine for $20 a cubic yard.
most bags would tell you how much is in them.a cubic yard of mulch will cover and area 2' wide 10' long and 2" deep...
The correct best direct answer comes from # 2. The better solution in large quantities comes from # 1.
A single bag usually sold at Big Box home stores is anywhere between 2.0 cu. ft. and 3.0 cu. ft. Assuming your mulch thickness will not be 36 inches deep, convert the cubic ft. to approx. 1 sq. yd. per bag.

They have 2 and 3 cubic feet bags. I've seen big 6 cubic feet "square" bags.
If you have access to a pickup truck, it's always better to goto your local compost yard or garden center that sells it bulk. It's always cheaper and fresher. I've purchased mulch for $11 a cubic yard.
