I would consider this to be the best solution, though it fails the test cases (only because of the precision of the test suite answers).

Test	Status	Code Input and Output
1	Fail	%% a = 100; u = 'MB'; y_correct = 95.4; assert(isequal(convert(a,u),y_correct)) Error: Assertion failed.
2	Fail	%% a = 10; u = 'GB'; y_correct = 9.31; assert(isequal(convert(a,u),y_correct)) Error: Assertion failed.
3	Fail	%% a = 500; u = 'GB'; y_correct = 465.5; assert(isequal(convert(a,u),y_correct)) Error: Assertion failed.
