20.7 degrees C
Explanation:
Here's the easiest way to solve. Grab a calculator, or a piece of paper. (its simple math) SOOOO, The start is 19.4. Then, it rises 3.8. So add that to 19.4. That gives you 23.2, BuT, it falls again, back down 2.5 degrees. so take 23.2, and subtract 2.5 from it. That should give you 20.7 degrees.
