I agree that reduce is a good function/concept to practice with for this solution but "best fitting" seems like a stretch. It took me a long time to understand the concept of reduce when learning functional programming and this may be a head scratcher for some folks new to Elixir and functional programming togther.

Would it be possible to change that message to say "Use the Enum.reduce function in the total_quantity function to practice."?

This doesn't give folks who can't figure out reduce right away the feeling like they are doing it "wrong".
