Re: How many ...... ?
Take only pictures, Leave only footprints ........
Возьмите только фотографии, оставить только след .........
Always ask yourself this question: “am I proud of this shot?” if the answer is “yes” then it doesn’t matter what anyone else says.

Re: How many ...... ?
I do suppose my outllok to shooting may be a little different to the rest of the contributors- as mine always have a monetary value to them and not just pleasure.
As a college student I was taught using a 5"x4" sinar view camera. We were allowed 2 sheets of film to complete any exercise, so being precise makes a difference.
Commercially one would shoot as much as the clients budget allowed. In film days on an RB67 and 10 shots per roll, there wasn't much leeway for errors. When it came to Weddings 2 cameras, with each shot controlled allowed you to use a second camera as 'back up' mainly in case of blinks, and was rarely processed. From your 60 processed images 48 would be used.
Digital now has introduced shoot first fix later philosphy,
The ability to shoot 300/400 -600+ images in a more expressive way leads to more rejects, As of course you have to value your time in managing post production later.
Aim is for 1 in 3, I controlled, I variation, and 1 to cover any mis haps - blinks, mis timings,etc, but mainly its about being in control before you shoot, and knowing what to look for, and to convey your message clearly in both your picture, and to your subject so as to maximise your chances of success
