A student weighed out 0.150 g of protein powder and dissolved it in 100 mL of water (Solution 1). The student then diluted this solution by transferring 1 mL into a 25 mL flask and diluting with water (Solution 2). Finally, 1 mL of that solution was transferred to a test tube and combined with 4 mL Bradford reagent. The absorbance of the solution in the test tube was 0.144. Assuming that the best fit linear line of the standard curve was y=0.04144x+0.01521 (μgmL), calculate the percent protein by mass in the original protein powder.
