Im assuming you mean converting it to the 12-point grade scale. If so, then you simply take the number as is (in your case 68.75%) and convert to the 12-point scale (I believe it is a 6).

Oh, I think she's saying if you don't get a whole value for a mark, would you round it before adding marks together or add them together and then round them off.

Add them together then round off.

Oh...lol I'm still not quite sure I understand the problem, but I guess it doesn't really matter In the future it might help if you're more descriptive when posting questions.
