In a sentence

これthisいくらhow muchです

How much is this?

How it works

(topic) raises the topic — これ (this) — “as for this…”. Then いくら (how much) is the question word, the polite です (is) states it, and the final (question) turns the whole thing into a question. With (question) present, no rising voice or question mark is strictly needed in Japanese.
