How to calculate and used memory of multiple instance of a single process using powershell?

Question

I have following result while running below powershell command,

PS C:\> Get-Process svchost

Handles  NPM(K)    PM(K)      WS(K) VM(M)   CPU(s)     Id ProcessName

     98      14     2536       2460    35     0.66   2504 svchost

Here im trying to calculte the total memory size PM(K) of process(s).i've following line in my ps1 script file

get-process svchost | foreach {$mem=("{0:N2}MB " -f ($_.pm/1mb))}

It gives the output in the following format

17.58MB 4.79MB 6.05MB 9.99MB 35.29MB 9.56MB 8.64MB 7.95MB 1.47MB 3.95MB 2.48MB

but i need total size as a single value like 107.75MB

How to calculate the total used memory size of svchost process ?

Thanks

You can use the Measure-Object cmdlet

$measure = Get-Process svchost | Measure-Object PM -Sum
$mem = ("{0:N2}MB " -f ($measure.sum / 1mb))
