Better way to sum a property value in an array

Just another take, this is what native JavaScript functions Map and Reduce were built for (Map and Reduce are powerhouses in many languages).

var traveler = [{description: 'Senior', Amount: 50},
                {description: 'Senior', Amount: 50},
                {description: 'Adult', Amount: 75},
                {description: 'Child', Amount: 35},
                {description: 'Infant', Amount: 25}];

function amount(item){
  return item.Amount;
}

function sum(prev, next){
  return prev + next;
}

traveler.map(amount).reduce(sum);
// => 235;

// or use arrow functions
traveler.map(item => item.Amount).reduce((prev, next) => prev + next);

Note: by making separate smaller functions we get the ability to use them again.

// Example of reuse.
// Get only Amounts greater than 0;

// Also, while using Javascript, stick with camelCase.
// If you do decide to go against the standards, 
// then maintain your decision with all keys as in...

// { description: 'Senior', Amount: 50 }

// would be

// { Description: 'Senior', Amount: 50 };

var travelers = [{description: 'Senior', amount: 50},
                {description: 'Senior', amount: 50},
                {description: 'Adult', amount: 75},
                {description: 'Child', amount: 35},
                {description: 'Infant', amount: 0 }];

// Directly above Travelers array I changed "Amount" to "amount" to match standards.

function amount(item){
  return item.amount;
}

travelers.filter(amount);
// => [{description: 'Senior', amount: 50},
//     {description: 'Senior', amount: 50},
//     {description: 'Adult', amount: 75},
//     {description: 'Child', amount: 35}];
//     Does not include "Infant" as 0 is falsey.

I know that this question has an accepted answer but I thought I'd chip in with an alternative which uses array.reduce, seeing that summing an array is the canonical example for reduce:

$scope.sum = function(items, prop){
    return items.reduce( function(a, b){
        return a + b[prop];
    }, 0);
};

$scope.travelerTotal = $scope.sum($scope.traveler, 'Amount');
