40k? How much is it?(please answer.)?

Question

I don't know what K it is.
40K$ is how much? (Just use numbers.)
Sorry about english. I'm still working on it.

It's not K. It's k. I heard chef makes 40k in an hour.

Oh my god! Than chef makes 40000$ an hour? Something is wrong about it..

Answer 1

K = 1000
40k$ = $40,000

Normally, K used in connection with a sum of money would mean 1000. However, since this does not seem to satisfactorily answer your question, I looked for other possibilities, and I found that:

K$ (as an acronym) = "constant dollars"
http://www.acronymfinder.com/acronym.aspx?rec={973BE785-89E8-11D4-8351-00C04FC2C2BF}

"constant dollars" means:
"Dollars as if in some base year, used to adjust for the effects of inflation."

So if that's what it means in your case, then it would be that chef makes 40 dollars per hour, and that salary is regularly adjusted for inflation. In other words, if prices rise, chef will still receive an amount of money that has the same value as 40 dollars have now.
--> 40K$ = $40 now and an amount of equivalent value in the future.

Answer 2

I doubt that a chef makes $40,000 an hour. You got something messed up. $40,000 doesn't seem like enough to earn for the whole year though either.
There are also 401 K plans at many companies.

40 K is $40,000.

Answer 3

Well, in the UK we would say 40k is 40 THOUSAND. So K is thousand. I don't think 40 thousand an hour is possible! certainly not Pounds anyway! Otherwise I'm in the wrong game - where's my cookery book??

Answer 4

Ditto

Answer 5

K = $1,000. So 40K is $40,000. Got it?

Answer 6

40k = 40,960 (1k = 1 binary thousand = 1024)
- the others are confusing k (commonly used to describe computer memory size) with g (grand, commonly used to describe sums of money): 40g = 40,000

(40k$ doesn't mean anything, the symbol $ was used in an ancient computer programming language to denote a string variable.)

Answer 7

40K = 40,000

Answer 8

$40000

Answer 9

$40000

Answer 10

it probally means 40,000 per year
