Answer: C

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the answer that is 1,590 dollars in Spanish

In Spanish mil means 1,000 (not to get confused with millón which is 1,000,000 in Spanish).

In Spanish cien means 100. That's why quinientos and cuatrocientos have the ien part in the name.

Cuatro is 4 in Spanish. That's why cuatrocientos is 400 and won't be the answer because our answer needs to be $1,590 not $1,490.

Cinco is 5 in Spanish. Quinientos doesn't have relation with cinco in its name, but it does with 15, which is quince in Spanish and 15 has a 5 in it's 1's place value. That's why quinientos is 500.

Nueve is 9 in Spanish (Not to get confused with nieve which is snow in Spanish or nueva which is new in Spanish). But our number is $1590 not $1509. Noventa is 90 in Spanish, and you can tell Nueve and Noventa are pretty similar to each other.

Therefore only C matches all of the descriptions.

A is $1,520

B is $1,549

C is $1,590

D is $1,410

Hope that helped a lot. Let me know any further questions.
