var group1 = $('input[name=group1]:checked').attr("value");
var group2 = $('input[name=group2]:checked').attr("value");
var group3 = $('input[name=group3]:checked').attr("value");
This will grab the value of the selected radio button within each of
your groups.
Then do some math to add up your variables.
so,
var result = (group1+group2+group3);
console.log(result); // this will show the result of the variable in
firebug. If you are that much of a newbie, embrace firebug. learn to
love it and harness it's power.
