The reporter doesn't have math skills and that's o.k. because he's a reporter. I couldn't figure it out either, but it is amazing the editors missed it too! Makes one wonder, doesn't it?

18.4 rounds down to 18, and 59.4 rounds down to 59, but 18.4 and 59.4 = 77.8, which rounds up to 78.

Rounding error. 18.4K + 59.2K = 77.6K. Round off for 18, 59, and 78.
