No, the expression you have written is not correct. To calculate the total amount of money collected from the entrance fees, you need to multiply the number of bands by the entrance fee for each band, and then add that to the product of the number of drill teams and the entrance fee for each drill team.

Here's how you can write the correct expression:

Total amount collected = (200 * number of bands) + (25 * number of drill teams)

In this case, the number of bands is 32 and the number of drill teams is 25, so the expression would be:

Total amount collected = (200 * 32) + (25 * 25)

To evaluate the expression, you simply perform the calculations:

Total amount collected = 6400 + 625 = $7025

Therefore, the total amount of money collected from the entrance fees is $7025.
