How to echo from read function + extra text

Question

I have an another issue with this script:

#!/bin/bash

read -p "Enter desired time: " desiredtime

echo "$desiredtime"

I want the echo to have the desiredtime that the user entered and 00 after it

echo "$desiredtime + 00"

so if user entered 1400 the echo should be 140000

I tried : echo "($desiredtime)00"

Please take a look at [How do I format my posts using Markdown or HTML?](https://stackoverflow.com/help/formatting). — Cyrus, Apr 03 '22 at 11:47
