Questions & Answers about ¿Cuánto es el pan?

Can I use cuesta instead of es to ask how much the bread costs?

Yes! Both are perfectly correct. ¿Cuánto es el pan? translates directly to "How much is the bread?" and is very common in Spain. You can also use the verb costar (to cost) and ask ¿Cuánto cuesta el pan?.

If I ask about a feminine object, like an apple (la manzana), does cuánto change to cuánta?

In this specific sentence, no. Here, cuánto is asking about the price (how much money), not counting the object itself. It stays masculine singular, so you would say ¿Cuánto es la manzana?.

If I am buying several loaves or rolls of bread, how does this sentence change?

You need to make both the verb and the noun plural. es becomes son (are), and el pan becomes los panes. The question becomes ¿Cuánto son los panes?.

Do I need to use a word for "for" if I want to say "How much for the bread?"

No, in Spanish you do not need to translate "for" in this context. You simply ask "How much is the bread?" using ¿Cuánto es el pan?.
