Can someone explain to me the last step of the reaction in this problem? They say that HCl in ROOR will "simply add Markovnikov"...

.. how? Isn't anything with peroxides adding Anti-Markovnikov????😕

Not ANYTHING. HCl / Peroxide will add Markov, but HBr / Peroxide will add Anti-Markov. Hope this helps.

Rule:

Peroxides ONLY work with H-BR

and NOT with HI or HCl, etc...

It'll be easy to recognize, you make this post, you won't forget, don't worry!
