Answer:

349

Explanation:

In Roman numerals, C=100, L=50, X=10, V=5, I=1. Values are additive except when a lower value precedes a higher value. In that case, the lower value is subtracted.

The value here is 10 -1 +50 -10 +100 +100 +100 = 349.

Additional comment

Letters are assigned to 1 and 5 and those values multiplied by 10 or 100. When you get to 4000 and above, special forms apply. By convention, only unit values within a factor of 10 are subtracted. In the above number, 49 is written XLIX, not IL.
