"k" refers to "Kilo" meaning thousand. So, 15 k means 15 * 1,000 = 15,000.
In this modern world, "short and sweet" is the preference for many. So, instead of saying thousand, people say "k".

K means Kilo, and represents 1000s.
With the common use of computers, the terms like 256KB, 512 KB, 2MB, 3GB etc. have become common.
As an influence of this, people tend to use K for 1000.
