What is the estimate 60 percent of 88?

Answer 1

60% of 88 = 0.6*886*8 = 48

so 6*88 = 48*11 = 528 (for multiplication by 11, the digits are 4, 4+8 and 8, with the carry overs applied).

and so 0.6*528 = 52.8. Exact answer, no need for estimating.

Answer 2

50 percent is 44, so I would estimate 60 percent to be 50.
