even more cats

This is a 5th grade math problem.

There are 7 girls in a bus
Each girl has 7 backpacks
In each backpack, there are 7 big cats
For every big cat there are 7 little cats

Question: How many legs are there in the bus?

10990, assuming 2 legs for each girl, and 4 legs for each cat.

10 points! Assuming you actually figured it out yourself, rather than Googling it. ;-)

I did use a calculator, but I figured out which buttons to press myself.

7 x 2 M+
7 x 7 x 7 x 4 M+
7 x 7 x 7 x 7 x 4 M+
