With difficulty because new rules governing the Roman numeral system were introduced during the Middle Ages and as a result of these new rules the way we work out Roman numerals today are different to the way that the Romans actually did themselves but the methodical Romans would have probably totalled these numerals in the following logical manner:
M+CM = CMM
CMM+XC = XMM
XMM+IX = IMM
IMM+XI = MMX = Total
And when converted into Hindu-Arabic numerals:
1000+900 = 1900
1900+90 = 1990
1990+9 = 1999
1999+11 = 2010 = Total
Note that the above numerals are fairly simple to work out and so for any complicated calculations the Romans would have used an abacus counting device.

How do you work out 1776 plus 1999 in Roman numerals giving reasons for your answer?
Today we write out 1999 in Roman numerals as MCMXCIX because of changes made to the rules governing the Roman numeral system during the Middle Ages and to add these numerals to MDCCLXXVI is almost impossible. But the Romans themselves would have calculated 1999 on an abacus counting device as MDCCCCLXXXXVIIII and probably simplified them to IMM by placing I to both sides of the numerals. So: MDCCLXXVI + (-I+MM) = MMMDCCLXXV (3775)
