What adapter replaces the 87W USB-C?

My 2017 15-inch MacBook Pro 87W USBC power adapter died and will no longer charge my computer. From what I can tell, the exact charger is no longer sold. What adapter should I buy to replace the 87W USBC adapter? I thought I was going to be fine buying the 85w magsafe power adapter but it doesn't have the USB-C cord. Does anyone know if the cord that comes with the magsafe can be interchanged with the USB-C type cable? I hope I am calling things by their correct names.

Thanks

MacBook Pro 15", macOS 10.12

MacAir charger too Big to stay in the wall power outlet The charger of MacAir is very big and thick and most time it`s needed an extension to avoid it to fall when put in the wall to charge. Would suggest that the Big box charger could be put in the middle of the cord or in the end closer to the computer instead of in the end at the wall.

You can use the 96 watt adapter instead. (If in doubt of that, see the Compatibility section of the following link.)

The MagSafe adapters have permanently attached cords and they cannot be used with Macs that use USB-C connectors.

You could try this mac-centric vendor, as an example (they have these.)

If you're not within US/Canada, there are affiliated sites. OWC is reliable.
