    1) Multiply the correct answer by 1% = > 7.80009 * 1/100 = 0.0780009

    2) Calculate minimum and maximum values:

    a) Maximum: 7.80009 + 0.0780009 = 7.8780909

    b) Minimum: 7.80009 - 0.0780009 = 7.7220891

    3) Valid range: [7.7220891, 7.8780909]

    4) Conclusion: 7.80, 7.730 and 7.80703 are inside the range and are inside the tolerance, while 7.6363, 7.6 and 7.76 are not.
