You can put this solution on YOUR website!
there are 2 ways to calculate original number,
the first way is to devide the number (19) by 95, then multiply it by 100 to get the 100% number.
so 19/95x100=20
the other way is to take the number (19) and devide it by .95, it works out the same way.
19/.95=20
