“How many” is used with count nouns (c исчисляемыми существительными, такими как люди, вилки, столы, деревья):
- How many students are there in each class? («Сколько учеников в каждом классе?»)
- How many people are you expecting? («Сколько человек ты ожидаешь?»)
“How much” is used with uncountable nouns (с неисчисляемыми существительными, такими как молоко, вода, деньги в общем смысле):
- How much sugar do you take in your coffee? («Сколько сахара ты кладешь в кофе?»)
- How much money do you want for this? («Сколько (денег) ты за это хочешь?»)

countable nouns are the nouns u can count,like there is one apple,two or three apples.They are big and u can see them clearly
Uncountable nouns cant be count cause there are a looot of them like sugar.U cant count the little peaces of sugar cause they are way too small.

The same as Lezelda answered, but you have to use How much in asking about money, although it is countable (at least in my country).
e.g. How much did you pay for your car?
Countable

Dear Lezelda,
Could you please show me an example with answers?
In Russian we have only one word for countable and for uncountable nouns - "Сколько",
so I would like to know easy way to understand it)

MANY is used for countable nouns like : many apples OR how many oranges did u buy?
MUCH is used for uncountable nouns like : how much sugar is left ? :)
