K$ rescaling

In the both first and second lectures I’ve seen

target *= 100  # rescale the target in k$

Don’t we multiply the target in 1000 to rescale in K$?

The prices are given in 100,000 dollars and we scale to have them in 1,000 dollars. We had an error in the statement before and updated last week with:

To simplify future visualization, let’s transform the prices from the 100 (k$) range
to the thousand dollars (k$) range.

However, you might need to “reset” the notebook to see the change.
