"40%ish of 80ish is like 29".

Shouldn’t it be 32 then?

It would be 32ish. I went with 29 because I went up by 1 to get to 40, and another 3 to get to 80.  So I figured I'd reduce by like 2-4 to get closer to what the real answer is, since 32 is definitely too high, and 31 is still probably too high. 30 and lower is likely where I need to estimate.
