How many subsets does set M= {a,e,i,o,u} have
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The set consisting of 5 elements has 2%5E5 = 32 subsets, including the empty subset and the entire set as a subset.

The finite set consisting of "n" elements has 2%5En subsets, including the empty subset and the entire set as a subset.

See the lesson How many subsets are there in a given finite set of n elements? in this site.
