tradecomission = 9.99
feepercontract = .75
totalcost = 8484

results = Table[
  {pricepercontract, numbercontracts /. First[Solve[
      numbercontracts == (totalcost -
          tradecomission)/(pricepercontract*100 + feepercontract),
      numbercontracts]]},
  {pricepercontract, 0.71, 0.84, 0.01}
  ]


Grid[Prepend[results, {"price per contract", "number of contracts"}],
 Dividers -> All]
