   - Number: A number answer can be used for entering answers requiring a numeric response.
   - Yes/No: A Yes/No answer can be used for entering answers requiring an affirmative or negative response. Note that if you want to create a yes/no question with a price attached, you will need to create it using a multiple choice answer type.
