Default fertilizer

I went to Sothern States and bought several bags of fertilizer. When I got
home I notice it was not exectally what I thought I was getting. The bag
had numbers of 24-4-4 and the 40 lb bag said it covered 8500 sqft. It did
have some weed killer in it that another brand did not have , but the other
bag had the same 24-4-4 in it and covers 15000 sqft. Why would one cover
almost twice the footage as the other ? I could see it being in the weed
killer, but the nitrogen being a high number like 24 seems that it would
make that way too much.
