alert text & variable JavaScript

Question

Can I put both text and variable in the same alert box I thought the code down would work but it didn't

alert('text'Variable);

Solution 1

alert('Your text goes here'+your var goes here);

I find out the code I should have put

Solution 2

var name = "John Doe";

function myFunction() {
  alert('Hello ' + name);
}

<button onclick="myFunction()">Checkout</button>

Where is Total defined? Please share your full code.
