Let x = the number
Let n = the hundreds digit = the ones digit
Then the tens digit = 2n
The 3-digit product can be written as
x^2 = 100n + 10(2n) + n = 121n
This gives x = 11
The product is three digits, and must be an integer
If n = 1, x = 11 -> x^2 = 121
If n = 4, x = 22 -> x^2 = 484
It seems both of these meet the conditions of the problem, so the possible answers are 11 and 22

product where
x = hundreds
y = tens
z = ones
x=z
y=x+z = z+z=2z
Substituting into expanded form of a 3 digit number
100(x) + 10(y) + 1(z) = 3 digit number
100(z)+10(2z)+z
100z + 20z + z = 121z
recognizing that 121 fits the description
n^2 = 121
n = 11
