D. 1478.84

Answer

To solve the expression \( 176.5 + 382.7 + 928.28 \), we will follow these steps:

### Step 1: Align the numbers by the decimal point
We write the numbers one below the other, aligning them at the decimal point:

```
176.50
+ 382.70
+ 928.28
```

### Step 2: Add the numbers starting from the rightmost column
We will add the numbers column by column, starting from the rightmost column (the hundredths place).

- **Hundredths place**: \( 0 + 0 + 8 = 8 \)
- **Tenths place**: \( 5 + 7 + 2 = 14 \) (write down 4 and carry over 1)
- **Units place**: \( 6 + 2 + 8 + 1 (carry) = 17 \) (write down 7 and carry over 1)
- **Tens place**: \( 7 + 8 + 9 + 1 (carry) = 25 \) (write down 5 and carry over 2)
- **Hundreds place**: \( 1 + 3 + 2 + 2 (carry) = 8 \)

### Step 3: Write the final result
Combining all the digits we wrote down, we get:

```
176.50
+ 382.70
+ 928.28
---------
1587.48
```

Thus, the final answer is \( 1587.48 \).
