After deducting 15% from a certain sum and then 25% from the remainder, there is ₹4,335 left.
Concept:
Sequential percentage reductions can be calculated by applying the percentage reductions one after the other.
Solution:
The original sum after 25% increment (before the second reduction) would be 100/75 × ₹4,335 = ₹5,780.
The original sum before both reductions would be 100/85 × ₹5,780 = ₹6,800.
Therefore, the original sum was ₹6,800
