Disable the checkbox that was checked last

I have few checkboxes. Each checkboxes has numerical value. What i am trying to do here is that clicking on checkboxes a div shows the sum of values of checked checkboxes. Now i want that when the sum is greater than 44 the checkbox which was checked last gets uncheck. You cannot check the checkbox which makes sum greater than 44. How can i do that?

I imagine you would need to run a function at the time of clicking the check box. That function would add to a variable you have set to zero. Wrap that function in an if statement that only runs the if statement if the number is less that 44. Else grey out all the other boxes. Im feeling too lazy to right now the logic right now XD.
