Answer:

We use “k” to represent thousands because it comes from the Greek word for one thousand:  Why? In Greek the letter χ is actually pronounced “HEE” but in English it is pronounced “k.” The prefix “kilo” before the word “metre,” for example, means “a thousand” metres.

So, to answer the question, using a single letter to represent an entire word saves space.

Answer:

1000 or one thousand is the natural number following 999 and preceding 1001. In most English-speaking countries, it is often written with a comma separating the thousands unit: 1,000. The SI prefix for a thousand units is "kilo-", abbreviated to "k"—for instance, a kilometre or "km" is a thousand metres. Multiples of thousands are occasionally represented by replacing their last three zeros with the letter "K": for instance, writing "$30K" for $30,000, or denoting the Y2K computer bug of the year 2000.
