Why are you taught that 99 in Roman numerals are XCIX instead of IC?
Because if XC = 90 and 9 = IX then it surely follows that XC+IX = XCIX in the same way that 90+9 = 99 but this is inconsistet with the real facts which are:- Fact I: XC+IX = IC because (100-10)+(10-1) = (100-1) Fact II: The Latin word for IC is 'undecentum' meaning one from a hundred Fact III: More convincing evidence is available Fact IV: XCIX for 99 is wrong and IC is correct Fact V: Numerals are calculated differently today than in Roman times

Is 99 in Roman numerals IC or XCIX giving a detailed and satisfactory explanation for your answer?
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.
