I am not allowed to use a calculator(could however) but for a Paper I am doing, I need to Multiple 39.6 by 49.5 and show all the long calculations for it.
I already did the approx one and got 2000, but how do I multiple the decimals and add them in and record it all down?

Any suggestions would be very beneficial.

Multiply 39.6 by 50. 50*39.6 = 5* 396 = 5*400 - (5*4) = 2000 - 20 = 1980
Now subtract 0.5 * 39.6 = 19.8

1980 - 19.8 = 1960.2 Easy...
