There are many articles in magazines, in books and the Internet about how many sets and reps should be performed for a muscle and almost every single person who exercises and every single personal trainer will all have different opinions. This does not make the information right or wrong, it simply means that you will have to find out what works for you because everyone and every source is most likely to be different.

Some people and sources will say to do high-reps ( 15-20 ) to get ripped and to burn fat while others will say to do low-reps ( 6-8 ) to get your muscles bigger and others will say to do moderate reps ( 10-12 ) to build and maintain muscles. This is again mostly opinions of people and sources so again you will have to find out what works the best for you.

As far as how many total sets you should do for your chest is all up to you. You will have to find out what works the best for you. Some sources say up to 20 total sets is good while others say that a total of 15 sets is plenty and some will even say 9-12 total sets is all that needs to be done for your chest.

Whatever exercise routine you choose to do you should know and be aware of signs of overtraining.
