The number of pages equals the product of the font size, line spacing and the number of words divided by 93,600 times the pagination, or the number of sides of the page that are printed on.

Formula

QuantityVariable["p", "Page"] == (QuantityVariable["f", "Unitless"]*QuantityVariable["spacing", "Unitless"]*QuantityVariable["w", "Word"])/(93600*QuantityVariable["sides", "Unitless"])
