Answer:

$1431

Explanation:

If Stan pays a 10% deposit, he pays $159. 10% of $1590 is simply 0.1 * 1590 = 159. Assuming this is the only amount he pays, he then simply needs to pay the full price minus $159. We can find this by simply subtracting 159 from 1590 to get 1431. Stan still needs to pay $1431.
