In this role you will be required to handle customer transactions. On a scale of 1-10 how strong are your mathematical skills?

"I did very well in math during high school and am comfortable with the math skills required for accepting cash, balancing a cash float, and performing inventory-related tasks. I would rate my mathematical skills as a 9 out of 10. While I am confident in my ability to perform basic operations and solve equations, there is always room for improvement."

"My math skills are strong, and I am confident that I can meet your expectations when accepting payment from customers. On a scale, I would give myself an 8. I can easily handle cash transactions, make correct change, and balance my register to the penny. However, more complex math, like trigonometry, has always been a little challenging for me. Luckily, I do not need that skill when handling customer transactions!"
