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?

7 girls = 14 legs

7 * 7*7 = 343 big cats with
343 * 4 = 1372 legs of big cats
343 * 7 = 2401 little cats
2401 * 4 = 9604 legs of little cats

9604 + 2401 + 14 = number of legs
the answer is 12019

Don't forget the girls' legs and the bus driver if there is one.
