Answer:

Final answer is 47.5%.

Explanation:

Let the missing percent is x.

Then x percent of 40 can be written as:
$40\cdot(x)/(100)$ .

Given that resulting percent value is 19.

So we can set both equal.

$40\cdot(x)/(100)=19$

$40x=19\cdot100$

40x=1900

x=(1900)/(40)

x=47.5

So the final answer is 47.5%.
