Each bill is the vendor's cheapest class with a complete total for that month, so a vendor's normal month and month you restore can come from two classes, each named under its figure; the answer and the cards above keep one class. 1 TB, 10 TB and 50 TB kept; a tenth, a tenth and a twentieth downloaded in a normal month; everything downloaded in the month you restore. The lowest bill in each group of three is underlined; "Incomplete" means a charge the bill needs is not published, and the cards above say which.
