Hi Manoj!\
Simply change the HTML markup to give the input you wish to ignore a new class or data-* attribute.\
<input class="amount ignored" type="text" />Then check for the class in your .each() loop:\
if(!$(this).hasClass('ignored')) total += parseInt($(this).val());\
If you go down the data-* route, you could use:\
<input class="amount" type="text" data-ignored="true" />\
And check making sure that the data attribute is set:\
if(!$(this).data('ignored'))total += parseInt($(this).val());\
I hope it helpful for you.
