Answer 1

475.

There's a 7 in the tens place.

Look at the ones place.  If that number is 4 or less, the tens place stays the same.  If that number is 5 or more, the tens place goes up by 1.

There's a 5 in the ones place, so the tens place goes up by 1, from 7 to 8.

Answer:  480.

Answer 2

C) 480
