Answer 1

The correct option is B $487$

Given, Stacy has four hundred and seventy-two coins in her piggy bank.
Number of coins Stacy has $=4$ hundreds $+7$ tens $+2$ ones $=472$
Also, she collects $5$ coins each from $3$ of her friends.
So, additional number of coins $=5+5+5=15$

Total number of coins Stacy has $=472+15$



$472+15=487$
Thus, Stacy has $487$ coins in total.
