The total number of subsets of a set = 2^n where n is the number of elements in the set. So here you have 2^5 = 32 subsets. This includes the empty set, the set itself, and all the other sets comprised of 1, 2, 3 or 4 elements.

A set with n elements has 2^n subsets, so yours
would have 2^5 or 32 subsets.
