How to add items within a list

[Mrocks22]

I need to make a program which take all the numbers that has been inputted and add them all up.
I know how to place the inputted number into a list. I just don't understand how to add them up while in the list format.
This is my current code

expenses = input('Enter the expenses: ')
listexpenses = expenses.split()


print('Total: $' + )

I don't know where to go from here.

Thanks

The built in sum() function is all you need here.
