If a house costs a million rand, and you have 7 million, then you can buy 7 of them, right? What am I missing?

If an average house costs a million rand, and you have 7 million rand, 7 properties is not the maximum you could buy.

(If the minimum price was a million rand, then 7 would be the maximum.)

Oh, I didn’t realise I wrote “at most”. You’re right, that was incorrect.
