80% of x = 19000

I recently received a settlement for $19000 after the lawyer got his fee.  The lawyer received 20% of the total amount and I don't know what that amount was exactly.  Was trying to figure out how much the total is and how much the lawyer received.

80% of x = $19000, x = $19000/.80 = $23750. The lawyer probably took out his expenses first and then a percentage of what was left.
