It is impossible to say definitively since every pattern will use a different amount, plus the amount needed for your particular tension will be different. If you are using different colors or one color throughout will also make a difference. The weight of the yarn used would make a difference as well. For these purposes, I will assume worsted weight yarn.
I found a post where an afghan 60 x 80 (top of a queen size bed), which is 4800 sq in, would use approx. 11 skeins of Red Heart Super Saver. Assuming the 7 ounce skeins, that would be 77 ounces. You would need a bit more than that since your afghan will be slightly larger.
For a king size afghan, one poster used 112 ounces, and the other used 104 ounces. A king size mattress is 76 x 80 which is pretty close to the size you need. Your 68 x 88 blanket would be 5984 sq in. and 76 x 80 would be 6080 sq in., a difference of only 96 sq in.
If you are using multiple colors, you will need xx amount of each color, which may mean having leftover yarn of some colors, but that amount needs to be included in the ounces purchased.
If you are working with one color, you could make a sample row or round in a similar yarn type and measure how much yarn it takes. Then multiple that amount by how many rows or pattern rows you need to do. This will only be accurate if your rows are the same throughout, or if you make one complete "pattern" of your afghan.
If you are using a pattern, the pattern of course should tell you how many ounces are needed. If it says only "xx skeins of xx type of yarn", then find that yarn online and see how many ounces or yards are in that yarn and multiple it out.
If you are making squares, then you can make one square, rip it back and see how much would be needed, plus an allowance for assembly and edging.

How many yarn needed to crochet a twin blanket crochet ball bring 300 yds?
How much yarn you need to make any afghan depends on the hook you are using, the weight of the yarn and the pattern you are making. If you are using bulky yarn it will take a different amount than sport or worsted yarn, to make the same pattern. The amount of yarn used also varies depending on the stitch being used. For example, an afghan made entirely in single crochet will use more yarn than one made using double or triple crochet. There are so many different yarn types with each being a different number of yards and ounces that it is difficult to determine which yarn you are thinking of using. Just to give a very rough estimate, say you are using Red Heart Super Saver worsted yarn which is 364 yards in 7 ounces, you could estimate a need of perhaps 7 skeins to make a twin size afghan (about 2500 yards). That is a VERY rough estimate. But again, there are so many variables. Note that a lighter weight yarn will take more to get to the same finished size as a worsted weight blanket. If you are able to make a swatch of the yarn you are considering, you can figure how much you need from the swatch by matching how much yarn the swatch takes and the size of the swatch. Just multiply it out to the size you want. That will give you an idea of how much yarn you need.

How to understand crochet patterns?
look at the pattern...... it usually says how much..... i.e.: 5 skeins of yarn As noted above, the pattern generally states how much yarn to use for that pattern. If you are trying to design your own pattern, however, then the process is more complicated. There is no general rule for how much yarn in a pattern, even as to type of pattern, because each is so different. Different scarf patterns, for example, would take different amounts of yarn. Generally speaking, I can probably make a scarf if I have 7 to 10 ounces of yarn. If I am making a hat for a child, I can do it with one 3.5 ounce skein with yarn leftover. For an adult, it depends on the pattern. Sometimes one skein would be enough, sometimes two would be needed. Afghans require more yarn, but amount varies with yarn, hook, and the size of the afghan as well as the pattern. One can take a baby afghan pattern and use chunky yarn to give a larger afghan, but amount of yarn required will be different. If you have a pattern and it gives you the yarn amount in skeins but not ounces, and you want to use a different yarn, then you need to find out how many ounces in that type of yarn, then buy the required ounces in a yarn in the same weight category.
