1) Each of your 'if' statements should be lower case letters only.
2) Typically, 'else if' statements are written on one line.
3) "and" is not a keyword in Java -- it is the reason for your error message. Instead of using the english word for 'and', this is the symbol you should use: &&. So your code should look like this:

Code:

if (packages >= 0 && packages <= 9)

Notice: you must use the actual variable name for each comparison.

Code:

// this is wrong and will not compile!!
if (packages >= 0 && <= 9)

// this is correct
if (packages >= 0 && packages <= 9)

There could be more errors, but these I caught at a quick glance.
