There's no definitive number, since font size and page size will determine the number of pages.

I smeared this in the google machine:

average number of words per page

and I got:

For a page with 1 inch margins, 12 point Times New Roman font, and minimal spacing elements, a good rule of thumb is 500 words for a single spaced page and 250 words for a double spaced page.
