    The parts of the sum are 55 and 80.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let,

    'x' be the smaller part and

    'y' be the greater part of the number.

    The sum is x+y = 135.   --------(1)

    The greater part y = x+25.  ---------(2)

    Substitute (2) in (1),

    ⇒ x+(x+25) = 135

    ⇒ 2x+25 = 135

    ⇒ 2x = 110

    ⇒ x= 110/2

    x = 55

    The smaller part is 55.

    Substitute x=55 in (2)

    y = 55+25 = 80

    The greater part is 80.
