50
In Roman numbers placing any smaller number in front of any larger number indicates subtraction.
XLI = 10 subtracted from 50 plus 1, 41

L = 50
XLI = 41 (L-X+I = 50-10+1)

L = 50, X = 10, I = 1. So, 10 from 50 plus 1 = 41.

The L Means 50, but when a larger number is placed after a smaller number, you have to subtract it. So if L means 50 and X means ten and I means one, you have to look at that as 10 from 50 (which is forty) plus one, which is forty one. If it were 91, it would be XCI, C meaning 100. Other Roman Numberals:
I = 1
V = 5
X = 10
L = 50
C = 100
D = 500
M = 1000
Put a line above and below any of these, and you are multiplying it by 1000.

XLI means L - X + I = 41.
