The same thing applies to TOEFL IBT listening score calculation.
These scaled scores are used to calculate the overall ETS TOEFL IBT score. Not just that, TOEFL score report comprises scaled scores.

This is not an exact conversion but to give the candidate a generalized idea of the scoring system. For instance, if somebody gets a 72% in reading and 68% in listening, then their scaled reading score would be 24 in the top section of the 66-75% range. And the scaled listening score would be 22 or 23 closer to the bottom range.
