Add up all the legs (14+1372+9604) for 10990 total. Is that the answer?
I got that too, assuming there the 7 girls are the total number of people on the bus and they have 2 legs (as opposed to being handicapped), all the backpacks are on the bus, the 343 big cats all have 4 legs, and the 2401 little cats all have 4 legs, there are no other cats on the bus, and there are no other legs, and the tires on the bus don't count as legs (otherwise it would be 10994)
