What to do with the number
Trowel notch, substrate flatness, tile size and back-buttering can materially change mortar consumption. Use the manufacturer coverage for the trowel notch and tile format you plan to use.
Planning estimate
Use this result as a starting point, not a guarantee. Product specifications, site conditions, manufacturer guidance, local codes, taxes, labor, tolerances, and rounding can change the real requirement or cost.
