Separate XL into two parts (XL) and (VII). Work on them separately, but remember that you must add them again at the end.

XL means X many before L, where X is 10 and L is 50. Therefore XL means 10 before 50, or 40.

VII means V plus I plus I, where V is 5 and I is 1. Therefore VII means 5 plus 1 plus 1, or 7.

So adding the two quantities together, 40 plus 7 is 47.

XLVII is 47 in cardinal numbers.
