For what value of $x$ does $10^{x}\cdot 100^{2x}=1000^{5}$ ?

$\textbf{(A)}\ 1 \qquad\textbf{(B)}\ 2\qquad\textbf{(C)}\ 3\qquad\textbf{(D)}\ 4\qquad\textbf{(E)}\ 5$

We can rewrite $10^{x}\cdot 100^{2x}=1000^{5}$ as $10^{5x}=10^{15}$ . From here, we can easily solve for $x$ , and $x = \boxed{\textbf{(C)}\;3.}$
