The inequality $|x - 1| \leq 0.20$ describes the range of actual amounts x in each scoop, where x is the actual amount and 1 represents one cubic yard. Solving this inequality for x gives us the range of possible amounts: $0.80 \leq x \leq 1.20$. Therefore, the largest amount of mulch you might get when purchasing one cubic yard is 1.2 cubic yards.
