1st Condition:
Sk%2BBi=199.00
2nd Condition:
Sk=Bi-51.00
Subst. Condtn 2 in Condtn 1:
Bi-51.00%2BBi=199.00
2Bi=199.00%2B51.00=250.00
cross%282%29Bi%2Fcross%282%29=cross%28250.00%29125.00%2Fcross%282%29
highlight%28Bi=125.00%29
In Condtn 2:
Sk=125.00-51.00=highlight%2874.00=Sk%29
Go back the 1st Condtn:
74.00%2B125.00=199.00
199.00=199.00
*It just make sense that the Bicycle is more expensive than the Skateboard.
