You can say "How much is it?" about something that has already been mentioned, example:

I like that hat. How much is it?.

You can say "How much is that?" or "How much does that item cost?" about something that you indicate (possibly by pointing at it). "How much is it/that?" and "How much does it/that cost?" are ways of saying the same thing.

    "How much is it altogether?" is possible. Also "How much is it?" where "it" is the total price.
