Answer:
Subsets of the given set = 32
Proper subset of the given set = 31
Step-by-step explanation:
Given set is {18, 8, 14, 9, 6} having 5 elements.
We know number of subsets of a set having n elements are represented by

where n is the number of elements in the set.
Therefore, subsets of the given set = 
= 32
Since original set itself is a subset of its own, is not a proper subset.
Therefore, proper subset of a set = 
= 
= 32 - 1
= 31
