How to find the total of second column using awk commands?

Question

Input file(filename:cat)

item1,200
item2,499
item3,699
item4,800

Awk command which i had tried

awk -F"," '{x+=$2}END{print x}'cat

Error

The above command display empty output.Is it any possible way to overcome with any solutions for it.

There should be a space between script and filename. – Ruud Helderman Mar 18 '19 at 08:50 — Ruud Helderman, Mar 18 '19 at 08:50

Don't name a file `cat` or any other shell command name. – Ed Morton Mar 18 '19 at 13:49 — Ed Morton, Mar 18 '19 at 13:49
