#19#

Explanation:

Taking a percentage of something is like multiplying it by a fraction, where the fraction is your percentage out of 100.

In your case, we would multiply #95*20/100# to get 19.

If this method doesn't make sense, think of it this way:
We know that 100% of something is just itself.
If it were to be 100%, it would be #95*100/100#, or just #95*1#. Your percentage (20 in this case) out of 100 can serve as your multiplier.
