List the number of these subsets
A={1,2,3,4}
B={a,b,c}
----------------------------

I will answer:
Compute the number of subsets for these sets:
A={1,2,3,4}
B={a,b,c}
----------------------------
For a set of n elements, there are subsets. This comes from having a choice to include or exclude each element in any given subset.
Set A has four elements so there are subsets.
[ For the number of proper subsets, the answer is because we exclude the one case of choosing every element. ]
Set B has three elements, apply the same idea. You may want to list out the subsets themselves to prove to yourself there are subsets.
