The correct answer is "How much" because when asking about the amount of money someone has, we use the phrase "how much" instead of "how many." "How much" is used for uncountable nouns like money, while "how many" is used for countable nouns. In this case, we are asking about the quantity of money, which is an uncountable noun, so "how much" is the appropriate phrase to use.Rate this question:

The phrase "use to" is incorrect and does not convey the same meaning. Similarly, "did use" is grammatically incorrect as it does not follow the correct structure for expressing past habits. The answer "used" without the "to" is also incorrect as it does not convey the same meaning as the original sentence.Rate this question:

"Not much" also implies a smaller quantity, but "a little" is a better fit in this context.Rate this question:
