I know that when I shoot anything that about 10% get trashed when I dump the pics to the computer. Either the girl is blinking, body looks weird, shadows are messed up, blurry, or any of the other million things that can wrong. So usually when I am aiming for 50 pics, i try to shoot around 65-70 to be safe.
The dollar amount to pay models is going to vary widely. Where are you? Podunk Arkansas models who's only option for work is wal-mart are going to be more motivated to work at a lower rate than say a gal in Miami Beach where there are a lot more modeling gigs. Also, what is she going to be doing? I can tell you that as the number of items being inserted, size of objects inserted increases, so does the fee....and this same thing applies to where such insertion is going to be!

As for how many pics to shoot, that is up to you. Shooting overage is a fantastic way to make sure that those half-closed-eye pictures can get tossed and you still have a set. Imporving your ratio of good images will come with time, both in using your equipment and in working with each individual. You will find that model #1 doesn't look so great when you shoot her from a certain angle. Guess what...stop shooting that angle and the number of good images increases!

Now, since you specifiacally asked about non-nude rates, you'll have to answer this; How non-nude is it? There is also a difference in how much you will have to pay for a girl to model lingerie than a girl to model lingerie and spread her legs open suggestively. Even though the shots are both non-nude, she has to go home and explain to her mother that they are not porn. for her to explain the spread legs (even though clothed) is going to be a tougher job for her, so you'll pay more.

Heck, if you're just shooting non nude stuff like glamour lingerie, there's no shortage of girls that would work for $20 an hour. Trust me, make them an offer... Oh sure, sometimes they will be busy with the GWC that is paying them $100 an hour to shoot them in their silk panties...but those guys run out soon enough, since they are just paying them to get their own experience.

but throw an exposed nipple in the mix and those fees are going to start to climb!
