75 million
75,000,000

Program:

print('\nPlease enter a number using the word "thousand" or "million"')
print('For example, "327 million" or "5 thousand"')

x = input()

x_l = x.strip().split(' ')

if x_l[1] == 'thousand':
   val = int(x_l[0]) * 1000
else:
   val = int(x_l[0]) * 1000000

print("{:,}\n".format(val))
