How Many Math Questions Per Chapter?

How many math questions per chapter should a person answer when doing a self-study of mathematics? If I answer every question, I will never complete the textbook.

You say?

Be guided by your success with practice questions.  If you're getting on well then move on; if you're having difficulties , you need to do more.

Isn't it better to understand math than to solve hundreds of problems like a robot? In other words, knowing the WHY is more important than quantity.

Yes. If you can get a few right it suggests you've mastered the why.
