Nathan is given 1010 g of copper and must put it through a series of transformations while preserving as much of it as he can. His teacher defines his grade by how low his percent error is.

  • A=0%−5%A=0\%-5\%
  • B=5.1%−15%B=5.1\%-15\%
  • C=15.1%−25%C=15.1\%-25\%
  • D=25.1%D=25.1\% or more

If Nathan recovers 7.87.8 g of copper, what was his grade?
