We want to know how many words our story will have.

We know that the book where the story will be print is 570 pages, with a page size of 8.5x11 inches.

From the research, we know that in a 8.5x11 in. page will fit 800 words. So if we have 570 pages, the story will have:


\#\text{Words}=570\text{ pages}\cdot800(words)/(page)=456,000\text{ words}

Answer: the story will have approximately 456,000 words.
