Technically, the answer would have to be the government or if you report it to the police, then it becomes there problem.
The answer is: " <span>1.045 * 10¹⁰ " .</span>

Explanation:
______________________________________
"5.5 million = 5,500,000 = 5.5 * 10 ⁶ " ;
______________________________________
"1.9 thousand = 1,900 = 1.9 * 10³ " ;
______________________________________
So; "<span>5.5 million * 1.9 thousand" ;
_________________________________________
= (</span>5.5 * 10 ⁶) * (1.9 * 10³) = 5.5 * 10⁶ * 1.9 * 10³ ;
= 5.5 * 1.9 * 10⁶ * 10³ ;
___________________________________________
Note the following properties of exponents:
____________________________________________
xᵃ * xᵇ = x⁽ᵃ⁺ᵇ⁾ ;
____________________________________________
As such, " 10⁶ * 10³ = 10⁽ ⁶ ⁺ ³⁾ = 10⁹ " ;
_____________________________________
So; rewrite:
______________________________________
5.5 * 1.9 * 10⁶ * 10³ ;
_______________________________________
= 5.5 * 1.9 * 10⁹ ;
__________________________________
5.5 * 1.9 = 10.45 ;
__________________________________
Rewrite as: " 10.45 * 10⁹ " ;
In scientific notation, we need to rewrite as an single digit integer, followed by a decimal and other values (if applicable); following by * 10 raised to the appropriately adjusted exponential power.
_________________________________________________
As such, we write the value as:
________________________________________________
" 1.045 * 10¹⁰ " .

The answer is easy in your calculator you type 100×.60= and you get 60
