no maximum amount. That depends on the pressure. Helium may be added to the ball until its skin ruptures.
However, the volume of the ball is
4/3 pi * 12^3 in^3
A ball is filled with helium. If the ball has a diameter of 24 inches, what is the maximum amount of helium that the ball may hold?

I have no idea. It depends on the pressure in the ball and the temperature.
P V = n R T
so
n = moles of He = P V/ (RT) = P (4/3)r^3 /(RT)
a mol of He has mass of 4 grams
P V = n R T
so
n = moles of He = P V/ (RT) = P (4/3)r^3 /(RT)
a mol of He has mass of 4 grams
