Error msg in IF ELSE statement in jsp page, Need help

Question

Below is my code I am trying to execute, but keep getting an error:
Compilation error occured:
Found 1 errors in JSP file:
D:\\http\\proFolder\\student.jsp:130: Syntax: "}" inserted to complete StatementNoShortIf
<%if (assess.getNumberValue() > 0) {%>
     <%if ((assess.getTotalCost(appForm)) <= (assess.getNumberValue())) {%>
     <strong><%=assess.getTotalCost(appForm)%></strong>      
        <%}%>
<%}%>
<%else {%>
     <%=assess.getTotalCost(appForm)%>
<%}%>Basically, What I am trying to do is follow this logic:
IF method getNumberValue() is greater then 0, then execute the second IF statement that
is, If method getTotalCost() is less then or equal to getNumberValue() then display value of method getTotalCost()
End Second IF
End First IF
Now if the First IF fails ( that is getNumberValue() is not gether then 0)
then execute the else statement
Could someone please guide me what I am doing wrong, and what would be the correct way of write the IF else code
Thanks,

<%     if (assess.getNumberValue() > 0) {
          if ((assess.getTotalCost(appForm)) <= (assess.getNumberValue())) {
%>
               <strong><%=assess.getTotalCost(appForm)%></strong>      
<%          
%>
<%
     else {
%>
          <%=assess.getTotalCost(appForm)%>
<%
%>
