Get aggregate sum of json array in Postgres NOSQL

Question

How to get aggregate SUM(amount) from "refunds" array in postgres json select Following is my data schema and structure:

Table Name: transactions

Column name: data

{
  "id": "tran_6ac25129951962e99f28fa488993",
  "amount": 1200,
  "origin_amount": 3900,
  "status": "partial_refunded",
  "description": "Subscription#sub_a67d59efb2bcbf73485a ",
  "livemode": false,
  "refunds": [
    {
      "id": "refund_ee4192ffb6d2caa490a1",
      "amount": 1200,
      "status": "refunded",
      "created_at": 1426412340,
      "updated_at": 1426412340,
    },
    {
      "id": "refund_0e4a34e4ee7281d369df",
      "amount": 1500,
      "status": "refunded",
      "created_at": 1426412353,
      "updated_at": 1426412353,
    }
  ]
}

Out put should be: 1200+1500 = 2700

Output
|---------
|total
|---------
|2700

This should work on 9.3+

WITH x AS( SELECT
'{
  "id": "tran_6ac25129951962e99f28fa488993",
  "amount": 1200,
  "origin_amount": 3900,
  "status": "partial_refunded",
  "description": "Subscription#sub_a67d59efb2bcbf73485a ",
  "livemode": false,
  "refunds": [
    {
      "id": "refund_ee4192ffb6d2caa490a1",
      "amount": 1200,
      "status": "refunded",
      "created_at": 1426412340,
      "updated_at": 1426412340
    },
    {
      "id": "refund_0e4a34e4ee7281d369df",

      "status": "refunded",
      "created_at": 1426412353,
      "updated_at": 1426412353
    }
  ]
}'::json as y),
refunds AS(
SELECT json_array_elements(y->'refunds') as j FROM x)
SELECT sum((j->>'amount')::int) FROM refunds;
