looks like school homework to me, therefore no solution but a guide:

Read about using aggregate functions in SQL, in your case it would be SUM.

RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.

The problem with that is if there is more than one entry for any given subject. And, yeah... I know... the OP provided no such data but it will happen and the OP needs to be ready for it.

Hi Jeff,

Actually the sample data provided has more than one record for RAM and for Maths

It is not explicitly stated but, I chosed using MAX perhaps and AVG could be better.
