convert mathematical equations stored as text into the mathematical answer within m

Pellegrino_0-1636175294843.png

 I have a simple equation stored as text. Is there a straight forward manner in which I can convert this to the mathematical answer, instead of splitting the colums by the + delimeter, storing the split mumers as a numer and then creating a new colun to get what I want?

I have the same problem - I need to evaluate a math expression like: 

((1038*1000000)/27011675)
((32*1000000)/7152834)
((1038*1000000)/27011675)
((32*1000000)/7152834)

soz hotchilli, but as a newbie to m i still can't get my head around it. Here is the query i have. It's gone through a number of steps to get to the below. How do I use Expression.Evaluate against the whole query, which for the sake of simplicity is called #"Nearly There".  I want to Evaluate the entire column Entry Fee. Thanks in advance
