Though direct references to Old Testament passages would have an exact number (I'm afraid I don't know it exactly), it was common for some phrases to be easily recognized among well studied Jewish people, so just because it is not expressly quoted to be from Isaiah, etc, doesn't mean the audience at the time would not have understood it to be an allusion to a well known Old Testament passage. Christians believe that the entire Old Testament is pointing to the work of Christ in the New Testament, and the whole of the New Testament after Christ's sacrifice to atone for sin on the cross, reveals the pictures contained in the Old Testament's rituals and sacrifices. Because of this powerful interrelation, it would be hard to limit this answer to an exact number.

Answer:

An index in the Jewish New Testament catalogs 695 separate quotations from the books of the Old Testament in the New (Jewish New Testament Publications, Jerusalem, 1989). There are many other passages where the Old Testament is referred to , as in cases where an Old Testament figure is mentioned, but no specific scripture is quoted. Depending on which scholar's work you examine, the number of quotations and references in the New Testament to the Old may be as high as 4,105(Roger Nicole, The Expositor's Bible Commentary , Zondervan, Grand Rapids, 1979, Vol. I, p. 617). The Book of Isaiah is most often quoted and is called by many 'the Little Bible.'
