Solved! I did some Golfing - 6 total tools, 3 for each part. I enjoyed doing the RegEx parsing and math in the Formula/Multi-Formula Tools

I could use @NicoleJohnson's as an example for how to get the entire workflow down to 4 tools. I might do that later.

Day 3 in the bag! Worth mentioning that I upgraded to 24.2 in the middle of Part 2, just so I could use the new expression editor with the multi-row formula tool! It was SO much better...
