To determine how many empty spaces there are in the parking garage, you need to calculate 95% of the total number of parking spaces, which is 8,760.
First, convert the percentage to a decimal:
\[
95\% = 0.95
\]
Next, multiply the total number of spaces by this decimal:
\[
\text{Empty spaces} = 8,760 \times 0.95
\]
Now, perform the multiplication:
\[
\text{Empty spaces} = 8,760 \times 0.95 = 8,322
\]
Therefore, there are **8,322 empty spaces** in the parking garage.
