finishing basement

trying to finish basement at my parents home and have installed 3 outlets, ran wires through the walls (40ft) to the breaker box and after all that no circuit breaker. i havnt looked inside the box but its my understanding that if the box (which has 3 empty slots) has "plugs" behinf those empty slots then i can buy a 15 amp breaker and wire it normally, but if it doesnt..(murphys law) then i would remove one of the existing 15s and replace it with a 30 amp, run it into a smaller second box and place two 15 amps...that sounds fairly difficult any advice or suggestions on what to do or how much an electricion would charge me, at any rate i have done the outlets and am comfortable with those skills...but braeker boxes intimidate me due to my relative lack of knowledge regarding them...
