'To the tune of' có nghĩa là tổng số một cái gì.

Ví dụ
Cell phones today come with a variety of optional (tự chọn) services. These include text messaging and wireless internet capability. But these features aren’t cheap. In fact, they can cost you a lot more, to the tune of several more dollars per month. For that amount, you should think carefully about what you really need.

Customs (hải quan) officials were surprised when they opened a man’s luggage and an exotic (kì lạ) bird flew out. Then, moments later, a miniature (bé tí xíu) monkey jumped out of his pants. A judge sentenced him to the tune of 30 days in jail. Perhaps in that amount of time, he’ll figure out why he tried such a crazy (điên rồ) thing!
