Hint
Think of the pages from 1 to 9, and then 10 to 99.

Answers
There are 147 pages. The number 3 appears 35 times.
Answer #1
For pages 1 to 9, there are 9 pages, which is 9 digits.

For pages 10 to 99, there are 90 pages, which is 180 digits.

This is a total so far of 189, therefore we require another 333 − 189 = 144 digits, which is another 144 ÷ 3 = 48 pages.

Taking us to 9 + 90 + 48 = 147 pages in total.

Answer #2
From page 1 to 147 we have 15 pages that end in 3:

   3, 13, 23, …, 143

We also have the ten pages that start with 30:

   30, 31, 32, …, 39

Plus the ten pages that start with 130:

   130, 131, 132, …, 139

For a total of 15 + 10 + 10 = 35 number 3's.
