The number 49 in Roman numerals is XLIX and the number 99 in Roman numerals is XCIX
The above numbers converted into Roman numerals are IX, XC, M, CM and XI respectively and the Romans would have probably added them up in the following fashion:- IX+XC = IC IC+M = IMC IMC+CM = IMM IMM+XI = MMX Hindu-Arabic conversion:- 9+90 = 99 99+1000 = 1099 1099+900 = 1999 1999+11 = 2010 For more complicated calculations the Romans would have used an abacus counting device.
In todays modern notation of Roman numerals they represent 99
99
99+1056 = 1155 or MCLV in Roman numerals Today we write out 99 in Roman numerals as XCIX but the Romans themselves would have probably wrote it out simply as IC (-1+100 = 99)

Under today's modern rules governing the Roman numeral system the above Hindu-Arabic numerals converted into Roman numerals are XIX, XIV, XLIX, XCIX and XIX respectively and to add them up step by step is an almost impossible task. But there is strong evidence to support the fact that the Romans themselves would have wrote out these numerals as IXX, IXV, IL, IC and IXX and then added them up in the following logical manner:- IXX+IXV = XXXIII XXXIII+IL = LXXXII LXXXII+IC = CLXXXI CLXXXI+IXX = CLXXXXX = CC Hindu-Arabic conversion:- 19+14 = 33 33+49 = 82 82+99 = 181 181+19 = 200
99+1056 = 1155 or MCLV in Roman numerals Today we write out 99 in Roman numerals as XCIX but the Romans themselves would have probably wrote it out simply as IC (-1+100 = 99)
99 = IC (-1+100) But today's conversion of 99 into Roman numerals is XCIX However, the Romans themselves would have probably wrote out the number 99 as LXXXXVIIII which then can be simplified to IC
99
Today we write out 99 in Roman numerals as XCIX because XC = 90 and IX = 9. Therefore it logically follows that XC+IX = XCIX as in the case of Hindu-Arabic numerals. But the Roman numeral system does not contain a zero figure for positional place value purposes. Instead the Romans most probably worked out 99 as IC because:- XC is a simplification of LXXXX IX is a simplification of VIIII So LXXXX+VIIII = LXXXXVIIII and by placing I to both sides of these numerals they can be simplified to IC in fact the Latin word for IC is 'undecentum' which literally means one from a hundred.
In today' notation of Roman numerals it stands for 99 but during the Roman era the equivalent of 99 in Roman numerals would have probably been written out simply as IC (100-1 = 99)
XCIX is the modern standard for 99.
C=100 X=10 I=1 So it is 10 before 100 (=90) plus 1 before 10 (=9) . Thus the answer in ARABIC numerals is "99", while of cause XCIX in ROMAN numerals is "XCIX"
