Trying to set up way to find the number of options contracts one can
purchase with a given amount of money.  Could someone please edit the
code if needed?  Or does this look okay as is?

Thanks.....


pricepercontract := .71
numbercontracts := x
feepercontract := .75
tradecomission := 9.99
totalcost := 25000

Solve[100*pricepercontract*numbercontracts*feepercontract +
   tradecomission == totalcost, x]
