So she must have had some understanding otherwise she wouldn't have got that right?

Also 'kind of taken' isn't really a great assessment technique. As I say, that should really be assessed elsewhere if you want a proper answer on someone's ability.

Although that does look to me like she actually knows what is going on but when asked to do it verbally either doesn't want to or can't actually make a congruent case for what she has in mind. Which is very common.

Algebra is used loads in banking/finance.

Probably also in engineering.

It's not specified because it's irrelevant to the question.
