M=1000
C=100
M with bar on top=10000
L=50
X=10
V=5
I=1
C before decreases 100
so ans is 1987

M = 1000
C = 100
Looking at the position of the first three letters MCM and their meaning.
First M = 1000
Second and third CM = -100 + 1000 = 900
Because the C is to the left of a letter with a higher numerical value, it is subtracted.
The rest is straight forward.
MCMLXXXVII = 1987

L = 50
X = 10
V = 5
I = 1
[ those are the meanings of roman numbers]
now, MCMLXXXVII is 1987

I guess you know that they are supposed to be in descending order except that you can put one lower value before a higher one to subtract it. To write 4 would be IV and 444 would be CDXLIV.

MCMLXXXVII
M=1,000
C=100
M=1,000
L=50,000
XXX=30
V=5
II=2
MCMLXXXVII = 1987

M is Mill, which is 1,000
C is Cent, which is 100.
L is 50
X is 10
V is 5
I is 1
So MCM is 1900 (1,000 plus another 1,000 from which 100 is subtracted), LXXX is 80, VII is 7: 1987.
