Okay, we are tasked with adding 7504 and 901. Let's begin!

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 4 & 1 in column 1 and get 5.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 0 & 0 in column 2 and get 0.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 5 & 9 in column 3 and get 14.
We'll write down the last digit 4 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 7 & 0 in column 4 and get 8.

So, 7504 + 901 = 8405.
