The sum of percentages for all parts of a pie chart should add up to 100. The sum of percentages for channels other than entertainment adds up to 50. Hence the percentage for entertainment must be 50 so that the total percentage adds up to 100.
$\therefore$ Percentage of entertainment viewers = 50%
$\Rightarrow$ Number of entertainment viewers = 50% of 76000
$\Rightarrow \frac{50}{100}\times 76000=38000$
Number of sports viewers = 25% of 76000 = 19000
