\frac{95}{100}=\frac{50}{x}
Divide both sides by 100.
\frac{19}{20}=\frac{50}{x}
Reduce the fraction \frac{95}{100} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 5.
19x=20\times 50
Variable x cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 20x, the least common multiple of 20,x.
19x=1000
Multiply 20 and 50 to get 1000.
x=\frac{1000}{19}
Divide both sides by 19.
