Can a conditional sentence contain more than one "if"?

Question

For example, is the following sentence correct?

If you have 100 books, how many can you give away if you want to keep at least 20 of them?

I'd appreciate it if you could provide links where I can read about this rule.
Thank you so much :)

The sentence does not sound grammatically incorrect. However, it'd be better to avoid using two ifs in a sentence as it seems to affect the flow. Breaking it into two short sentences should be better.
