You should take a look at the grading system used at Mac - just google it, and you'll see why it's true. It's not "what you got out of 12", because the marks aren't evenly weighted between the 12 grade points...a 9 on the 12-point scale isn't 9/12=75%. At the end of the term you get your mark on the 12 point scale, and your letter grade. Each whole number on the 12-point scale corresponds to a letter grade, so it's really just two different ways of saying the same thing.
