Get aggregate sum of json array in Postgres NOSQL json data

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;
