Pages:

1-9    9 digits

10-99   180 digits

100-999  2700 digits

    total so far  2889

       the rest of the pages are 4 digits long

 

(3401 - 2889) / 4 = 128     more pages past 999            999 +128 = 1127 pages

If you added all the individual  digits of each page together, i.e. 15th page would be considered as 1+5, then you have a book with 1127 pages, which add up to 3401.
