Use the plural form “estamos” because the speaker includes themselves; “está” is singular.
Qual página estamos agora?
While “qual” is acceptable, many learners drop the preposition “em” which can make the sentence feel abrupt in formal contexts.
Agora em que página estamos?
The adverb “agora” normally goes at the end of the question for natural flow.

Cultural Tip
In Portuguese, both “em que” and “qual” can introduce a “which” question, but “em que” sounds slightly more formal and is common in written or academic contexts. When referring to a digital screen, Brazilians often say “qual página” or “em que página” interchangeably. Remember that “página” is feminine, so adjectives would agree (e.g., “a página correta”).
