quantity
Measure of something
Quantity is the amount or number of something—how much or how many: What quantity do you need?
The word often appears in contexts of measurement, commerce, or comparison: bulk quantities, a small quantity of salt.
An unknown quantity is something unpredictable or not yet understood.
Quality and quantity form a natural pair, often in tension: They chose quantity over quality.
