Answer 5

K is generally the abbreviation for thousand.

That's a seriously expensive guitar.

Answer 6

2k is $2000.      

5k is $5000

Answer 7

1K= 1000 always. Mostly referred to USD.

K in fact stands for KILO primarily. In Metric system Kilo means 1000.

for Example,

1 Kilogram or 1 Kg = 1000 Gram or 1000 g

1 Kilometre or 1 KM = 1000 meters or 1000 M.............. similarly others.

Gradually K came to represent the term 1000.

Just like Y2K means Year 2000 AD.

Even in Computers 1 KB= approximately 1000 Bites (1064 Bytes to be accurate)

Answer 8

a K is 1000

so 5k means $5000

2k means 2000

Answer 9

A K usually refers to a thousand. 5K equals $5,000. A 5K run is a five kilometre run (5,000 metres).

Answer 10

k = 1000

Answer 11

The abbreviation, K, comes from the Greek " χίλιοι " ("khilioi"), KILO, which means thousand.

So,

    * one kilogram is 1,000 grams

    * one kilometer is 1,000 meters

    * one kilowatt is 1,000 watts

    * one kilojoule is 1,000 joules

    * one K is one thousand dollars, or $1,000

So, if a guitar is "two K" that means it costs two thousand dollars. Five K would be five thousand dollars, and so on. Hope this helps.
