I'd prefer something like

pricepercontract = .71;
feepercontract = .75;
tradecomission = 9.99;
totalcost = 25000;
limit = Rationalize[
   100*pricepercontract*numbercontracts*feepercontract +
     tradecomission <= totalcost]
Maximize[{numbercontracts, limit}, numbercontracts, Integers]

999/100 + (213 numbercontracts)/4 <= 25000

{469, {numbercontracts -> 469}}
