Just swap any A+ 4.3’s for a 4.0 in the calculation I think is typical. Converting down by a percentage reduction doesn’t seem right since in my experience an A+ in a 4.3 system is much tougher achievement than an A in a 4.0

Dividing by the max has no meaning.

Imagine a 10.0 GPA system, where it is basically impossible to get anything greater than 5 - everyone would have a 50% GPA percentage - its totally arbitrary, and largely useless to compare across universities, given different systems/standards/grade inflation.
