Hi Hamza,

Please find the best information about Aggregate functions:

SUM()

Returns the total sum of a numeric field. For example:
SELECT SUM(Amount)
FROM Opportunity
WHERE IsClosed = false AND Probability > 60

If it is a Master-Detail Relationship and wants to find the Sum of Child record field's then you can use Roll-Up Summary:

Please do let me know if it helps you.
