LOTS!! For example if you are going to the grocery store and you only have 20 dollars but you need to but milk that cost $4.75,a bag of Oranges that costs $5.50 and 3 bags of chips that all together cost $8.75, you would need to round and add to found out if you have enough money so it would be about $5+$6+$9=$20 dollars so with tax and everything you would know that you probably don't have enough so you should put something back.
Or if there is a sale and a shirt is 70% off and it originally cost 35 dollars you would need to know how much it cost so using math you would need to find out 70% of 30
70% of 30
=0.70 x 30
=21
then you know it will be $21 off so you will only end up paying $9 (that's a good deal)
Math relates to shopping because whenever you pay for something you use money. you have to count the money which is math. you have to deal with taxes (7 cents) and change too. shopping is all about counting and that goes with the items as well.

Also, say you have $25.00 to spend on anything you want. You will need to know math to add up what you are wanting to buy. If you find an item for $8.99 you will need to know how to subtract the $8.99 from your $25.00 to see how much money you will left.
