Finally, we're ready to find our totals. Create a variable named total. Use map() to find the per-product totals for each item in prices, then use reduce (and add) to find the total value.
from operator import add
from functools import reduce
prices = [
(6.99, 5),
(2.94, 15),
(156.99, 2),
(99.99, 4),
(1.82, 102)
]
def product_sales(item):
return item[0] * item[1]
add(1,2)
total = reduce(add , map(product_sales,prices))

Just remove that space.
You also have a stray call to add on the line above (but the checker seems to ignore that).
You might want to report this funny space issue to Treehouse Support. It may get you an Exterminator badge.

It's best to avoid spaces like that, but they shouldn't make you fail.
