Author Multiplying Grouped Columns

I have a query, which selects three columns from an inner join. The last two
columns are SUM and the first one is GROUP BY. Now, I would like to add
another column that will be the multiplication of the second and third
columns. I have tried many ways but I am not very sure if what I have come up
with is the best approach. Could someone suggest what would be the best way
to achieve something like this?

Could you post your query first, along with table structures, sample data
and desired output? Otherwse we'll be guessing what you are trying to
achieve. Anyway, here's a guess:

select i, sum(j), sum(k), sum(j) * sum(k) from x group by i

Thank you very much. It was what I was looking for. I didn't know I could
do something like sum(J)*sum(k) :-(
