Our galaxy, the Milky Way, has somewhere between 100 billion and 400 billion stars (it's difficult to estimate precisely). However, it's not really "typical"; it has more stars than any other galaxy in the "Local Group" except for the Andromeda Galaxy, which has about a trillion stars.

I'm not sure there really is such a thing as a "typical" galaxy.
