500

Explanation:

5 is 5
10^2 is 100

5xx100=500

10^2 is just 1 with 2 zeros to the right of 1, the amount of zeros that are to the right of 1 are equal to the exponent the right of 10 in 10^x
x = the amount of zeros to the right of 1 when multiplying any number by 10 with an exponent.
In this case x = 2 so 10^2=100.

5xx10^2=5xx100=500
