Doing this:

float x = arc4random() % 100;

returns a decent result of a number between 0 and 100.

But doing this:

float x = (arc4random() % 100)/100;

Returns 0. How can I get it to return a float value?

    Simply, you are doing integer division, instead of floating point division, so you are just getting a truncated result (.123 is truncated to 0, for example). Try

    float x = (arc4random() % 100)/100.0f;
