Just looked it up and it seems that GPA is a scale that's linear from 1-4 but everything below 1 is a 0. A is 4, B is 3 and so on.
The conversion from letter grades to percentages can vary though but one example only has a D for 65% which makes B an 83-86% or a GPA of 3.
Failing a class with percentages does count a lot more towards a average than a GPA depending on how hard you fail. Getting a 20% would still be a 0 GPA as well as a 55%. For four classes you could get A, A, A, F and have a GPA of 3 but in percentages you could 100%, 100%, 100% and 0% to get a 75% average.
Needless to say, when taking all the letter grades together they are a weighted average based on the credits given.
