The way we calculate Roman numerals today are different in the way that the Romans actually did themselves because of changes to the rules governing the Roman numeral system introduced during the Middle Ages.
In all probability the ingenious Romans would have added the above numbers when converted into Roman numerals in the following manner:-
M + CM = CMM
CMM + XC = XMM
XMM + IX = IMM
IMM + I = MM
Hindu-Arabic conversion:-
1000 + 900 = 1900
1900 + 90 = 1990
1990 + 9 = 1999
1999 + 1 = 2000
For more complicated calculations the Romans would use an abacus counting device.

How would you work out 1776 plus 999 and 1776 minus 999 showing all work with answers in Roman numerals including reasons why?
Presumably, in order to make Roman numerals more compatible with Hindu-Arabic numerals that were being introduced into Western Europe in the Middle Ages we now consider the equivalent of 999 expressed in Roman numerals as CMXCIX but back in the time of the ancient Roman Empire its equivalent was probably worked out on an abacus counting frame as DCCCCLXXXXVIIII and expressed in written format as IM thus facilitating the speed and ease of the required calculations as follows:-MDCCLXXVI+IM = MMDCCLXXV => 1776+(1000-1) = 2775MDCCLXXVI-IM = DCCLXXVII => 1776-(1000-1) = 777Note that in mathematics -(1000-1) becomes -1000+1 and that if we were to use the longer version of 999 the results would be exactly the same in both calculations.QED
