    Just always convert the percentage to a decimal, and it’s easy either way.

    0.06x50 is as easy as 0.5x6. They’re both just 5x6.

    All these comments like “What about 47% of 3.11?” Well, yeah, of course it’s harder to multiply two- and three-digit numbers than it is to multiply single-digit numbers.
