What is the sum of X+XX+XXX+XXXX?

Given the use of upper case, I personally would initially assume Roman numerals*, so the answer would be C (100 in present-day decimal notation)
What is the sum of X+XX+XXX+XXXX?
However, X +X^2 +X^3 + X^4 is a valid algebraic answer,
Odit dolor officiis cupiditate doloribus repellendus culpa ullam.
as would be assuming that these are representations of conventional numbers, in which case the answer for number bases of five or more would be
1234X
and for binary would be
11010X
It’s a matter of interpretation.
*Note that the abbreviation XL (for XXXX) appeared quite late in the Roman period, and never found universal favour
