| Read | Worth | Running total |
|---|---|---|
| CCC | 300 | 300 |
| XXX | 30 | 330 |
| IX | 9 | 339 |
The one place that scan can trip you up is the pair IX. A smaller letter sitting in front of a larger one is subtracted, not added, so you have to read those two letters as a single unit rather than one at a time. Treat IX as one group and the rest of CCCXXXIX falls into place.
