Roman numerals can look simple at first, but one small letter can completely change the answer. In this puzzle, the question asks for the Roman numeral for 75, and there are four options shown in the image.
Let’s look at each one.
A. LXXV
This means 50 + 10 + 10 + 5.
That equals 75.
B. LXXXIX
This means 50 + 10 + 10 + 10 + 9.
That equals 89, not 75.
C. XCIX
This means 90 + 9.
That equals 99, not 75.
D. LXXIX
This means 50 + 10 + 10 + 9.
That equals 79, not 75.
So the correct answer is:
A. LXXV
Because L = 50, XX = 20, and V = 5.
Together, 50 + 20 + 5 = 75.
