Another way to approach this is to create the question: 19 is 76% of what number?
By asking the question this way, you can create an equation from the question:
19 is 76% of what number?
19 = 0.76 • x
And to solve this equation, you divide both sides by 0.76 to find
25 = x
Yes, it’s the same answer someone else provided. Approaching the percentage problems by setting up the format
A is P percent of B
can help you have a consistent approach to solving.
