The quiz

This puzzle was found in the ‘Rhind papyrus”, an Egyptian scroll bearing mathematical table and problems, copied by the scribe ahmes (c.1650 b.c)

This reads as follows:
“As I was going to St.ives, I met a man with seven wives. Every wife had seven sacks, and every sacks had seven cats.
Every cat had seven kits, Kits, cats, sacks and wives-how many were going to St.ives?”
I call this puzzle Scary seven, because it has all number seven and this number is twisted over and over.
Even i don’t know the answer.
