fifteen K
I would appreciate your help.
They just practiced and practiced until the price meant
nothing to them; it was just a number. It took about a week of
this routine, but he saw an amazing difference: The price tag of
“thirty-five hundred dollars” just rolled off their tongues, and
sales skyrocketed.
»» If you charge $15,000, get practicing. “That’s fifteen K.
That’s fifteen K. That’s fifteen K.”
»» If you have a payment plan, practice that too:
“That’s twelve-and-a-half K—seventy-five hundred
llamas up front, and two simple monthly payments
of twenty-five hundred llamas.”
»» If you charge $8,400: “It’s eighty-four hundred monkeys—
that’s four equal payments of twenty-one
hundred monkeys.”
Keep going until your price means nothing.
Thank you!

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Coincido. Esperemos que Ma. Elena nos comente para qué público está orientado. Quizás 'lucas' funcione para ella también.

Los prefijos M y k
Los símbolos y códigos de monedas pueden tener antepuesto el prefijo M (de mega-) para expresar millones: 5 M₲ y 5 MPYG son cinco millones de guaraníes. También es válido, según la ISO, el prefijo k (de kilo-) para los miles: 5 k€ y 5 kEUR son cinco mil euros.
