Grades in relation to percentages

We need a way to adjust the percentage/grade relationship. For our school, 95+% is an A, 92+% is an A-, 89+% is a B=, etc. However, when I enter a student's percentage of 90.7% instead of reading B+ it tells the student he received an A-, and that only leads to conflict and argument between the instructor and student. If I manipulate the letter grade to reflect B+ the system adjusts the actual student percentage downward to reflect the system's standard of a B+ and the student will argue that he received a higher percentage than the one corresponding to the B+. We ought to be able to adjust the scale, either class to class, or institution-wide to reflect the scale for the class/school.
