document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Six years are  \"2%2F3\"  of  9 years.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "So,  \"2%2F3\"  of the time gone;  hence,  \"1%2F3\"  of the time remained.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "With the time,  \"2%2F3\"  of the cost of the computer gone, and only  \"1%2F3\"  of the cost remained.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "So, after 6 years the computer is worth  \"1%2F3\"  of  4590 dollars, i.e.  \"4590%2F3\" = 1530  dollars.    ANSWER\r\n" );
