There are 789 freshmen at fordham university. the university must give 2 pillows to each freshman that is living on campus. how many more pillows do they need to purchase?

1,578 pillows. For this I just multiplied 789 by 2 and that’s the problem I got. I also double checked it by dividing 1,578 by 2 and this I got 789

if a = 1,   and b = 2, then the answer is 47.99999999. if you round that to the nearest whole number, the answer is 48.
