How do you ask in a store setting, "What does this cost?"

Answer 1

¿Cuánto cuesta?

1. How much does it cost?

Answer 2

This one is on our translator. The first two translations are great, the third one not so great.

Please fill out your profile so we will be able to help you with more difficult things. Click on my name to see what a complete profile looks like. We need to know your level of Spanish and English and a little about yourself. You don't have to do a bio in Spanish. English is OK if you want.

One more thing. When a questioner wishes a translation, we ask you to post your best efforts, then we play "teacher" and correct your errors if there are any.

Buena suerte.

Answer 3

I agree with Daniela that the translator #3 has an unnatural translation, but this is because in Spanish we don´t say this word for word as your English variant - just as you would never say: ¿En cuanto sale? / ¿A cómo es? but very natural in Spanish. Be careful with translators.
