To find the sale price based on the original price and the percentage, you can follow these steps:
1. Determine 95% of the original price.
2. The original price is \$87, so calculate 95% of this amount:
\[
\text{Sale Price} = \text{Original Price} \times \left( \frac{95}{100} \right)
\]
\[
\text{Sale Price} = 87 \times 0.95
\]
3. Now perform the multiplication:
\[
\text{Sale Price} = 87 \times 0.95 = 82.65
\]
Thus, the sale price is **\$82.65**.
