That depends on a couple of things. First, what are the percentage ranges that correspond to the different letter grades. Second, how much is the project weighted against each of the other grades that comprise the 91% and what are the details of those other grades.

Example: You took one test and got a 91%, and then failed to turn in your project that has equal weight with the test. You have a 45.5% and a big fat F in just about anybody's grading scheme.

On the other hand, if you had 4 quizzes, a midterm that counts as much as 2 quiz grades, and a final that counts as much as 3 quiz grades -- and all of that adds up to your 91%, AND the project only counts one grade, then you have an 82%; a good solid B in most grading systems. But if you had more or less things that add up to the 91, or the project is weighted more heavily, then the result is going to be very different.
