Answer: The best estimate for how much money she will make when it sells, rounding the original values, is between $36 and $57.


Solution:

The mural is 2.6 m, this value is between 2 m and 3 m.

She charges $18.50 per meter, this value is between $18 and $19 per meter.


The estimate for a minimum value is the multiplication of the smallest values:

($18/m)(2 m)=$36


The estimate for a maximum value is the multiplication of the largest values:

($19/m)(3 m)=$57


The best estimate for how much money she will make when it sells is between $36 and $57.
