How to SUM a filtered spreadsheet column?

After filtering the F&B and Entertainment category, the quiz wants me to SUM the price column. I have tried using the SUM function but it SUM the hidden rows as well. How should I do to avoid that?

Hi Matthew,

I'd just select the filter, then highlight the whole column. The total will appear bottom-right.
