Multiplication requires numbers. I am guessing 'KM' is a field in your list? If so, you need to switch to the dynamic content tab and insert it into the expression from there. You cannot just type in the name of the field.

For example:
The expression is:
mul(triggerBody()['number'],2)

KM is a number type field submitted by the user. (In this case: amount of kilometers the user ran). How do I multiply this by 2 for instance? The resule of course will be stored in SCORE.

As I mentioned in my original post, in the expression builder you need to switch to the Dynamic content tab, find the field in the listing and insert it into your formula from there.
