You can put this solution on YOUR website!
You have 7 girls, 7 big cats and 7*7 little cats in each backpack and 7 backpacks per girl
Assuming this is not a trick question (like each seat in the bus has legs etc)
You have TotalLegs+=+girlLegs+%2B+7%2A%28BigCatLegs+%2B+LittleCatLegs%29
TotalLegs+=+%287%2A2%29+%2B+7%2A%28%287%2A4%29+%2B+%287%2A7%2A4%29%29
TotalLegs+=+14+%2B+7%2A%2828+%2B+196%29
TotalLegs+=+14+%2B+7%2A224
TotalLegs+=+1582
That's a lot of legs
