The simple answer is one. The main reflection from the silvered surface on the back side of the mirror glass.

A second reflection occurs from the front surface of the glass. However, this will be fainter since the reflectivity to transmittance of glass is low.

The philosophical answer is infinite. Any reflective surface on you body (your eyes, for example) reflects the image in the mirror which reflect the image from the reflection... A pragmatist would set a limit at these reflections (the intensity is less than the sensitivity of the eyes, the image is smaller than the wavelength of visible light, etc.).

You see a previous image of yourself, as it takes time for light to bounce off you, to the mirror, and back to your eyes. It is also reversed from left to right.
