How can I call a controller method in a view using ASP.NET CORE

Question

I have a controller with a method that returns a value:

public float GetShoppingCartTotal()
    {
        string user = User.Identity.Name;

        var total = _context.ShutterOrders.Where(c => c.User == user).Select(c => c.Price * c.Amount).Sum();

        return total;
    }

How can I call this method from a view so I can show its value, here is my view (P.S. I took out some code of the view since I think it really is unnecessary for the purpose of this question. I have marked the part where I would like to call my controller function):

@model IEnumerable<ShuttersInc.Areas.Identity.Data.ShutterOrders>
<tfoot>
    <tr>
        <td colspan="3" class="text-right">Total:</td>
        <td class="text-right">
         **I'd like to place it here**
        </td>
    </tr>
</tfoot>

P.P.S - I have an IEnumerable model since I list items from a list. I think this is one of the main problems why I can't call the method from the controller, although I might be mistaken.
