I am trying to connect to my database; compare two columns in a row, and display the amount that is greater than "0.00"

The only one that is working is when the mb_accept column has a value greater than "0.00"

 

my ($mb_award,$mb_accept);

$dbh=$db->prepare("SELECT mb_award,mb_accept FROM Items WHERE itemnum=
+$form{'item'} AND seller=$fdnum AND closef='1'");
$dbh->execute();
($mb_award,$mb_accept) = $dbh->fetchrow_array();


my $mb_amount_disp;

if ($mb_award > "0.00") {
    $mb_award = $dbh=$db->prepare("SELECT mb_award FROM Items WHERE it
+emnum=$form{'item'} AND seller=$fdnum AND closef='1'");
    $dbh->execute();
    $mb_amount_disp = $dbh->fetchrow_array();
}
elsif ($mb_accept > "0.00") {
    $mb_accept = $dbh=$db->prepare("SELECT mb_accept FROM Items WHERE 
+itemnum=$form{'item'} AND seller=$fdnum AND closef='1'");
    $dbh->execute();
    $mb_amount_disp = $dbh->fetchrow_array();
}
