Answer

$2^{100}$ - 101

Work Step by Step

Total number of subset of a set with 100 elements = $2^{100}$ This is because we can either include or exclude an element from the subset. Subset with 1 element = 100 Subset with 0 element = 1 Total subset with more than 1 element = $2^{100}$ - 100 - 1 = $2^{100}$ - 101
