Having a problem with this code

Question

a buddy of mine is teaching me some java, and im doing ap roject in which i have to set up a loop that will take an inputed script a b c or d, and convert it to a price, then add up the prices together, using up to 10 variables, this is what i got so far and im having trouble finishing it, also getting errors on the lines with total, any help would be appreciated
package projectloop;
import java.util.Scanner;
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
String input = new String();
Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);
for(int i=0;i<10;i++){
System.out.println("item");
String s = in.next();
if(s.equals("a"))total=9.95;
if(s.equals("b"))total[i]=19.95;
if(s.equals("c"))total[i]=29.95;
if(s.equals("d"))total[i]=39.95;

You never do any addition.
I also recommend using prices in cents.
