Basic Rules to Write 80 in Roman Numerals

• A symbol is added by itself when it is repeated.

Example: II = 2, XX = 20, XXX = 30

• A symbol can be repeated a maximum of 3 times.

Example: XXX = 30, CCC = 300

• Symbols V (5), L (50), and D (500) are never repeated.

• If a smaller symbol follows a larger one, we add.

Example: VI = 5 + 1 = 6

• If a smaller symbol precedes a larger one, we subtract.

Example: IV = 5 - 1 = 4

• Symbols V, L, and D are never subtracted.

I can only be subtracted from V and X.

Also, X can be subtracted only from L and C.

Solution:

LXX = 70 and X = 10

Adding them gives: 70 + 10 = 80

In Roman numerals, 80 = LXXX

Example 2: Add what to 80 to get 90? Write in Roman numerals.

Solution:

LXXX = 80 and XC = 90

Subtract: 90 - 80 = 10

10 in Roman numerals is X

Thus, LXXX + X = XC 

Example 3: What is the difference between 80 and 50? Write in Roman numerals.

30 in Roman numerals = XXX

So, LXXX - L = XXX

Example 4: How is 80 written in Roman numerals using symbols?

Solution: L (50) + X (10) + X (10) + X (10) = LXXX (80)

Example 5: A library has 50 storybooks. They received 10 more as a donation and also bought 20 new books. Write the total number of books in Roman numerals.
Solution: Number of story books in the library = 50 = L
Number of books received as a donation = 10 = X
Number of new books bought = 20 = 10 + 10 = X + X = XX
Total number of books in the library = 50 + 20 + 10 = 80
80 in Roman numerals is LXXX.
