You point toward a thing that’s showed in the shop window. You use article “Itu” or “That”.
We’ll take a necklace as an example.
“Berapa harga kalung itu?” means “How much is that necklace?”

How much
“Kalung” means “Necklace”

“itu”, you still remember our previous subject, don’t you? It means “That”
“Berapa harga kalung itu?”
Berapa harga kalung itu? (Be’ra’pa Har’ga Ka’lung I’tu)
How much is that necklace?
We take an example that the thing is an earing.
“Berapa harga anting itu?” means “How much is that earring?”
However, if you’ve held that thing, you use “Ini” or “This”.
Let’s take a ring as an example.
“Berapa harga cincin ini?” means “How much is this ring?”

Cincin (Cin’cin)
ring
“Ini”, you also still remember, means “This”.

How much is this ring?
