The answer
XXXV
35 in Roman numerals is XXXV.
How XXXV is built
To write it, split 35 into 30 + 5. 30 is XXX, 5 is V, so 35 is XXX then V: XXXV.
To read it, XXXV has 4 chunks, and none of them is a take-away pair, so every chunk is added.
| Chunk | Worth | Why |
|---|---|---|
| X | 10 | Add |
| X | 10 | Add |
| X | 10 | Add |
| V | 5 | Add |
The mistake to watch for
Writing 35 as XXXIIIII
Wrong: XXXIIIII
XXXIIIII counts in ones, like a tally, and writes I more than three times in a row. Use V for five: 5 is V, which makes 35 XXXV.
