Tell us what’s happening:

So the challenge wants me to use tr[class=“total”] but wouldn’t it just be simpler and cleaner to just select the class? And if there is overlap with other elements why not just make a class specific to these elements?

Your code so far

Your logic makes sense to me.
But consider this:

A few lessons later they give an explanation of when you might want to use it. The tr[class=“total”] will select ONLY the tr elements whose only class is total.

Other forms will select tr elements that contain the “total” class
