Something like this would work:

​function getTotal(id) {
  var total = 0;
  $("td:first-child").filter(function() { return this.innerHTML == id; })
      .next().each(function() { total += parseInt(this.innerHTML, 10); });
  return total;           
}

For example:

alert(getTotal(1)); // alerts 92
alert(getTotal(2)); // alerts 35

You can test it out here., what this does is get the first columns of cells, does a .filter() down to those that match the ID (don’t use :contains() here, it’s a substring match) then for the matches, get the neighboring cell using .next(). For those cells we’re just using praseInt() to get the number and add it to the total.
