Answer 1

You can declare a variable inside a code block and use it in the foreach like so:

<table class="table table-striped">
  <tr>
    <th>Description</th>
    <th>Price</th>
  </tr>

@foreach (var product in Model)
{
  <tr>
    <td>@product.Description</td>
    <td>@product.Price</td>
  </tr>
}

@{
   var sum = 0;
   foreach (var product in Model)
   {
      sum += product.Price;
   }
}

    
  <tr>
    <td colspan="2">Total Price: @sum</td>
  </tr>
  

</table>

An alternative could be using System.Linq .

<tr>
  <td colspan="2">Total Price: @Model.Sum(product => product.Price)</td>
</tr>
