25 to the 5th power. 5 times five is 25 and you have to add the exponents together.

5^(2) * 5^(3) \\ 5^(2+3) \\ 5^(5) \\ 3,125
When multiply powers with the same base(5 in this case), all you have to do is add the exponents (2 and 3) and take the base to the power of the exponent.
The answer is 3,125
Hope this helps!
