Final challenge in CSS Selectors

I have no idea where to start here. To which element are you referring in the statement: "First, in the top .progbar selector, add the pseudo-element that will insert content after the element." Which element? I don't know where to begin. I've put a lot of time and effort into this tutorial and I sure would like to finish.

The challenge went ahead and created three of the same .progbar selectors, which is a little confusing :D. It says the "top" .progbar, so you need to add a pseudo element onto the first .progbar selector listed. If you want to insert content after the .progbar selector, you use the "::after" pseudo element, like this:

    .progbar::after {
    display: block;
    width: 50%;
    height: 100%;
    border-radius: inherit;
    background-color: #5ece7f; 
}
