Does 12k stand for 12000 or 1200?

Answer 1

Oh, dude, 12k stands for 12,000. The "k" is a shorthand for "thousand" in the metric system, so it's like saying "12 thousand." If it stood for 1200, it would be written as 1.2k. But hey, who's counting?

Answer 2

In the metric system, "k" stands for "kilo," which represents a factor of 1000. Therefore, 12k would stand for 12,000, as "kilo" denotes a multiplication by 1000.

Answer 3
