It is printing the Result twice

[salgergawi]

I do not know what is wrong:

it is printing:-  $remains= ($country->country_unit) - ($country->sold_units) ;

however i have not written echo only inside the tag <td> echo $remains;

                    <?=
                        $remains= ($country->country_unit) - ($country->sold_units) ;
                        if($remains<300 && $remains!=0){
                    ?>
                    <td style="text-align: center; background-color: darkred; color: wheat">
                        <?php }    else { ?>
                     <td style="text-align: center">
                        <?php
                        }
                        echo $remains;
                        ?>
                     </td>

what is wrong why is the variable printing its result alone?

<?= is equivalent to an echo statement. You should remove the = sign.
