The { NUMPAGES } field should give you that. So you need Page { SECTION }
of { NUMPAGES } Pages to get Page x of y Pages.

{ NUMPAGES } gives the total number of pages in the document and is not
affected by the presence of Sections. There is a { SECTIONPAGES } field
that gives the number of pages in each Section if you ever need it.
