Tested entering C when the calculated grade was D. The calculated percentage continues to display beside the new letter grade.
Tested the revert to calculated grade in the Override pop-up
Tested modifying the letter grade again
Checked the Override Log to make sure everything displays

I attempted to fix this by assuming that totalPointsPossible would always be 100 when using percentage grading.
But then I looked more into and and came to the conclusion that a number of bugs exist because of this work.
My recommendation at this point is to revert those two JIRAs.
If an instructor attempts to use the Course Grade Override option within the GB tool while its configured for percentages, an error will occur in the UI and logs and the override will not save.
UI error:
An error occurred updating the course grade.
Log error:
ERROR http-apr-8080-exec-489 org.sakaiproject.gradebookng.business.GradebookNgBusinessService - An error occurred saving the course grade. class java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Null points possible passed to convertInputGradeToPoints for letter or % based grading
