What are you trying to calculate the percentage of?
The general rule is:
percent =(selectionOfGroup/totalInGroup)*100

I tried this but it did not work

 if (score >= 0 && score <= 3){
            System.out.println("Dude which planet do you live on? Your score is " + score + " shame on you");
        }
        if (score >= 4 && score <= 6){
            System.out.println("Dude you need to catch up with the world! Your score is " + score + " shame on you");
        }
        if (score >= 7 && score <=9){
            System.out.println("You did OK, nothing to write home about! Your score is " + score + " shame on you");
        }
        if(score >=8 && score==10){
            System.out.println("super dude, what does your dad feed you?! Your score is " + score + " Awesome!");
        }
        int a=10;
        float percent=(score/a)*100;
        System.out.println("Your Percentage is" + percent);
        
    
    }
}

The output is always zero.

If score and a are both ints, then dividing an int by an int will not result in a fractional or decimal number. Change or cast either a or score to a floating point variable.
