Stoichiometry problem - chemistry

Copper is extracted from chalconite (Cu2S) through the following reactions:

reaction a: 2 Cu2S + 3 O2 --> 2 Cu2O + 2 SO2

reaction b: Cu2O + C --> 2 Cu + CO

Suppose that 0.15 mol Cu2S, 0.15 mol O2 and 0.15 mol C are used and that both reactions run completely. How many moles of copper are then obtained?
