Find X and the number i thought of...

A Gross - 144
A Score - 20

10^X = 10x2 = 20
10^X = 10x3 = 30
10^X = 10x4 = 40
10^X = 10x5 = 50
10^X = 10x6 = 60

we're multiplying 10 with the power.

You have to select one which will make a whole number, I'll start myself picking from 10^6.

Let me represent the number i thought of with ?.

? divided by 144 and multiplyed by 20 is equal to 10^6.

?/144 x 20 = 10^6
Now, you can use mathematical rule at this point, So we'll cross multiply,
? x 20 = 60 x 144 .:.

therefore,
? x 20 = 8640,
20? = 8640,
divide both sides by 20,
=> 20?/20 = 8640/20

? = 8640/20
? = 432.

So my number is 432
