Best Answer

Because of new rules introduced during the Middle Ages the way we write out Roman numerals today are different to the way the Romans actually did themselves and so they probably totalled these numerals in the following logical manner:

CD-XL = LCDX

LCDX+LX = CDXX

CDXX+XC = DX

DX+X = DXX = Total

Converted into Hindu-Arabic numerals:

400-40 = 360

360+60 = 420

420+90 = 510

510+10 = 520 = Total

Remember that in maths a minus minus is equal to a plus and therefore --X = X

How do you write negative numbers in Roman Numerals?

Just put a minus sign in front of them. But be careful when subtracting numerals that have a subtractive element in them. For example: C-XL = LX because it is the same as 100 - (- 10 + 50) = 60. In mathematics a minus followed by a minus is equal to a plus - (- 10) = 10 try it out on your calculator.
