There are 27 amendments. However, the first 10 passed at the same time, in the form of the 'Bill of Rights'. So, in actuality, it's been amended 18 times.

There are 27 amendments to the Constitution if you are counting formal changes. But there are countless other "informal changes" resulting whenever the Supreme Court tweaks or overturns one of its previous rulings for one that it thinks (hopefully) is a better interpretation. Even though the constitution remains the same in words, the way that the law is carried out changes any time this happens.

18 times successfully.
The first 10 amendments were one set of changes -- they happened at the same time.
There were 17 more amendments ratified after that -- numbers 11 to 27.
