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 myself a 9 out of 10 as there is always room for improvement in any skill."

"I rate myself an 8 out of 10. My math skills are strong, and I am confident I can meet your expectations regarding accepting customer payments. I did not rate myself higher because I feel everyone can improve their skills as no one is perfect."

The hiring manager wants you to rate your skills from 1-10. You want a rating of at least an 8 to show you have strong math skills. However, you want to avoid giving yourself a 10, as there is always room for improvement of any skill.
