How to read CLXXXIV

| Read | Worth | Running total |
|---|---|---|
| C | 100 | 100 |
| LXXX | 80 | 180 |
| IV | 4 | 184 |
The one place that scan can trip you up is the pair IV. 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 IV as one group and the rest of CLXXXIV falls into place.
