Incomplete. How many digits? What else about relationship among digits?

Try two digit number, just to see if the question makes any sense.

Number is 10T+U for those variables as unknown digits.
Description gives 10T%2BU=6%28T%2BU%29. Maybe more than one solution.

Continuing to try to work with that:
10T%2BU=6T%2B6U
4T=5U
?
4%2F5=U%2FT----------A way this could make sense is if U=4 and T=5.
The number for these two digits would then be 10%2A5%2B1%2A4=54.
54.
