ViewModel is not updated after ajax call in Knockout

I'm trying to make a simple grid system with knockout for my project. But I can not update the my viewmodel properly

here is my JS;

$(function () {
    function AppViewModel(initialData) {
        var self = this;
        self.prices = ko.observableArray(initialData.Data);
        self.TotalCount = ko.observable(initialData.TotalCount);
        self.Page = new PageViewModel(initialData);
        self.GoTo = function (d) {
            $.getJSON("/prices/GetByFilterViaJSON?limit=3&page=" + d, function (data) {
                self.Page = new PageViewModel(data);
                self.prices(data.Data);
            });
        };
    };

    function PageViewModel(listData) {
        var self = this;
        ko.mapping.fromJS(listData.Page, {}, self);
    }

    $.getJSON("/prices/GetByFilterViaJSON?limit=3", function (data) {
        ko.applyBindings(new AppViewModel(data));
    });
});

and HTML

<div class="section table_section">
<div class="section_inner">
    <div class="title_wrapper">
        <h2 data-bind="text: TotalCount">
            Prices</h2>
    </div>
    <div class="section_content">
        <div id="product_list">
            <div class="table_wrapper">
                <div class="table_wrapper_inner">
                    <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%">
                        <tbody>
                            <tr>
                                <th>
                                    No.
                                </th>
                                <th>
                                    Tier
                                </th>
                                <th>
                                </th>
                            </tr>
                            <!-- ko foreach: prices -->
                            <tr data-bind="css:{first: $index % 2 == 0}">
                                <td data-bind="text: Id" style="width: 26px;">
                                </td>
                                <td data-bind="text: Tier" style="width: 35px;">
                                </td>
                                <td style="width: 120px;">
                                    <div class="actions_menu">
                                        <ul>
                                            <li><a class="edit" href="">edit</a></li>
                                            <li><a class="delete" href="">deny</a></li>
                                        </ul>
                                    </div>
                                </td>
                            </tr>
                            <!-- /ko -->
                        </tbody>
                    </table>
                </div>
            </div>
        </div><!-- PAGING NUMBERS -->
        <div class="pagination"><!-- HERE NOT UPDATING -->
            <span class="page_no" data-bind="text: Page.CurrentPage()"></span>
            <ul class="pag_list" data-bind="foreach: ko.utils.range(1, Page.TotalPage)">                   <!-- AND HERE NOT UPDATING -->
                <li><a href=""  data-bind="click: $root.GoTo, css:{current_page: $data==$root.Page.CurrentPage()}"><span><span data-bind="text: $data"></span></span></a>
                </li>
            </ul>
        </div>
    </div>
</div>

When I click to paging numbers (GoTo function in viewModel), self.Page is not updated thus page number class is always same. That is What I can't success.

You think what am I doing wrong?

Knockout does not know about your new PageViewModel when you do this in your GoTo method:

  self.Page = new PageViewModel(data);

The UI is bound against the previous PageViewModel and does not know about this new one. You would likely want to make self.Page an observable and populate it with the current PageViewModel. So, then your GoTo method would do: 

self.Page(new PageViewModel(data))`.

You would initially define it like: 

self.Page = ko.observable(new PageViewModel(initialData));

In your UI, you would then need to either do with: Page around your section or access the values like Page().CurrentPage.
