a good mix will run you 103+ / yard if you walk in off the street. i know the math says 11...... yards but you find me a digger who will grade that perfectly to 4"...not gonna happen , id also put some deeper footings in areas of higher traffic around the edges . i would order 13 yards to compensate for sloppy digging/ grading and for "beefed up" areas.
other areas of added cost:
- added fiber in to concrete
- 4000 psi concrete instead of a 3000 mix
- form wood, metal keyway for control joints , steel mesh
- form/ grading labor
-finishing

also this is would be considered a small job so expect to pay more / sqft to get a crew to show up to do it

I was wanting to get a slab poured, just so happens they had a crew pouring a slab for a new house up the street from me. I stopped by when they were finishing it and asked them if they knew anyone who would want to pour a slab and told them what I needed..... they nearly beat each other up trying to get the job. The guy who did it ended up charging me $1 a square foot to dig out an area, form it, finish it and wreck the form. After I paid for concrete, georgia buggy, beer for the crew and labor it was right at $2.15 a square foot, this was back in 07 so I know prices have gone up.
