    </p>
   how do i change this code to achieve this

Answer 1

What would happen if you are on page 3 and have "items 24 to 36 of 50 total" ? Anyway, the code to change that is:

<div class="pager clearfix">
<p class="amount-catalog">
    <?php echo $this->__('Items %s from (%s) items total', $this->getLastNum(), $this->getTotalNum()) ?>
</p>

But you should also add this text in your app/locale/en_US (and other languages)/Mage_Catalog.csv just like "Items %s from %s items total","Items %s from %s items total". Keep in mind my example is for english only, other languages will have the part after comma translated.
