  actually the correct sentence is 'Ippaku ikura desuka'
  yes,this sounds better like 'one fark how much?'

  for the more advanced, 'no' actually has a deeper meaning other than possession and linkage.
  
  think why in dramas/animes you usually hear sentences ending with 'no'...
  
  eg. dou shi ta no? (why?)

  in this instance no is the equivalent of koto.
