24×30 concrete slab: what to expect

A 24×30 slab covers 720 square feet. At the standard 4" thickness it takes about 9.78 cubic yards of concrete once you allow 10% for waste, which is roughly 440 × 80 lb bags if you mix by hand. Stepping up to 6" — sensible if it'll carry a vehicle — raises that to about 14.67 cubic yards.

Budget around $3,960 – $8,640 to have a 4" slab this size poured and finished by a contractor, or roughly $1,282 – $2,033 in ready-mix if you're doing the labor yourself. On top of the concrete you'll need about 10.22 yd³ of gravel base and 51 sticks of rebar.
