To calculate the volume of the cone, use the formula V = (1/3)πr^2h, where r is the radius and h is the height.

V = (1/3)(3.14)(5^2)(15)
V = (1/3)(3.14)(25)(15)
V = (1/3)(3.14)(375)
V = (1.047)(375)
V = 392.625 cubic inches

Therefore, the flower vase can hold approximately 392.5 cubic inches of water. The closest answer choice is 392.5 cubic inches.
