How is she able to shop a bag of groceries? I am wondering how someone can live a normal life with not knowing almost any math at all. My grandmother, born in 1910 and skipping most school because of WW1, was a housewife in a time when even not knowing to read and write was not a problem, but in 2021 this is no longer possible.

What would geometry had to do with shopping or really anything in what she does? Or finding root square.

  Geometry is not second level math. I asked because I had 2 such cases in the family, but at times when it was not such a big deal, you seem to be trolling by talking about root square.

    I took my examples from test in question - someone linked it.

Budgeting has been a major problem for her. Her mentality has been. Buy on sale. No regard for the actual price. If I state we shouldn’t eat out as an effort to save money, she will go to the store and spend 80-200 on ingredients for 1-2 meals.
