A Ball Park Figure means an approximate amount, or a rough guess. Use this idiom when you don't know exactly, but have a general idea.
Peter: How much do you think the vacation will cost?
Susan: Well, I'm not sure, but just as a ball park, I'd say about two thousand.
Brian: Can you give me a ball park on how much to fix my car?
Mechanic: Sure. We have to fix the brakes and there might be some extra parts, so I would say about $500 as a ballpark.
Sally: What's a ballpark on a new computer?
Salesman: Probably $2000.00.
Now try some examples yourself:
1) Man: How much for this carpet in my basement?
Salesman: _________________________________________________?
2) Wife: ______________________________________________________?
Husband: I would say $5,000 as a ballpark.
3) Wife: How much do we need to go to Mexico?
Husband: ____________________________________________________?
