Let $ n \ge 2009$ be an integer and define the set: \[ S = \{2^x|7 \le x \le n, x \in \mathbb{N}\}. \] Let $ A$ be a subset of $ S$ and the sum of last three digits of each element of $ A$ is $ 8$. Let $ n(X)$ be the number of elements of $ X$. Prove that \[ \frac {28}{2009} < \frac {n(A)}{n(S)} < \frac {82}{2009}. \]
