in a promotion, a retailer issues 1000 'Lucky Number' tickets for sale. 100 of these Lucky Numbers have a $50 prize, 20 have a $100 prize, 1 has a $1000 prize and the rest have no prize.
what do the rest mean by? rest of 100 or rest of 1000?
for my opinion the rest is mean the rest of 100.

1000 'Lucky Number' tickets for sale.
100 of these Lucky Numbers have a $50 prize,
20 have a $100 prize,
1 has a $1000 prize,
the rest have no prize.
the rest = 1000(total)-100(50 prize)-20(100 prize)-1(1000 prize)=879(no prize)
any more problems ?

I'm taking A-level... I just finish my AS lessons, but the coming May will be my AS exam...maybe it really like what you said, it really requires a better English proficiency more than I think. My English always the worst to others language, I have no idea to improve my language. Since I need to sit for the IELT exam too after the course. I really need to practice my english but I don't know how to improve it
