How much does this cost?
, , is a regular first-and-second declension adjective doing two jobs. As an interrogative it asks "how great?", and inside an indirect question it pulls the SUBJUNCTIVE after it: sit. As a relative it answers , giving the correlative pair ... , "as great as".
Latin runs a tidy grid of these pairs, and learning the grid is quicker than learning the words separately. / measures size or amount, / counts things, / describes quality, / grades a degree. The neuter works as an adverb, "as much as", and the genitive is a genitive of price: ?, "what does it cost?".
