How to use a sum function within an if condition in python

Question

I am attempting to find the sum of prices for vehicles in the state of texas. Below is the code that I have attempted

Autos = [
{'make': 'Jeep', 'Model': 'Wrangler', 'price': 35000, 'state': 'colorado'},
{'make': 'Jeep', 'Model': 'Wrangler', 'price': 33250, 'state': 'texas'},
{'make': 'Jeep', 'Model': 'Wrangler', 'price': 52300, 'state': 'colorado'},
{'make': 'Jeep', 'Model': 'Wrangler', 'price': 75000, 'state': 'colorado'},
{'make': 'Jeep', 'Model': 'Wrangler', 'price': 28500, 'state': 'texas'},
{'make': 'Jeep', 'Model': 'Wrangler', 'price': 35000, 'state': 'colorado'},
]

for d in Autos:
    if d['state'] == 'texas':
        sum([d['price']])

I am able to get the list of prices using the following. But I need the sum to calculate the average.

for d in Autos:
    if d['state'] == 'texas':
        print(d['price'])
        
33250
28500

"I am able to get the list of prices using the following", No, you aren't - you are able to display the prices in order. That's a completely different thing. If you were able to get the list, then you could simply pass that list to sum. You should try to think about the problem in those separate steps, and you should study techniques for processing a list. — Karl Knechtel

Try this:

sum(auto["price"] for auto in Autos if auto["state"] == "texas")
