can you use a predefined variable within a variable in qlikview?

I want to use the following sum as a variable. Is it possible? If so, is the syntax correct?

sum({<Year*={2015},Type*={'school'}>} ($(vbook)/([area] * $(vchildren))

The parentheses don't match up: sum({<Year*={2015},Type*={'school'}>} $(vbook)/([area] * $(vchildren)))
