It depends upon the size/weight of the skein. Although skeins seem to be commonly around 100gms in weight, they can vary from 50gms to 800 gms.
If by "how much" you meant price, that also varies. You can buy a skein of yarn for a couple dollars, or it can cost upwards of $10 a skein and more. Price may or may not be an indication of quality. Unless one is familiar with the brand, actually holding a skein in your hand is often the best judge of quality for price.

What does skein mean?
After yarn is spun it is wound into a skein on a niddy-noddy or skein winder. A skein is a coil of yarn wound like a garden hose, with a circumference usually of 1-2 yards. Before it is used for knitting, a skein is placed on a yarn swift which spins freely as the yarn is pulled from it, and the yarn is then wound into a center-pull ball, or cake with a nostapinne or ball winder. Alternately, an unwitting spouse can be used as a substitute swift by placing the skein of yarn over his hands and directing him to slowly move his hands side to side as the yarn is pulled off by the person winding. The back of a chair might also be used as a substitute swift. Commercially prepared yarns already wound into a center-pull tube-less cone are often mistakenly called "skeins" because they resemble skeins that have been twisted for storage and because they lack the cardboard core typical to cones.

It can vary greatly depending on your yarn tension and the size of the hook you are using. The more tension and the smaller the hook, the more yarn it will take. It also depends upon the type of yarn you are using. Thinner yarn (such as baby yarn or sport weight yarn) will require more yards to complete 1 square foot. Thicker yarn will require less yards to complete 1 square foot.
