Um... so... where are you stuck? Do you not know what a "subset" is...? :shock:
A "subset" is a set containing one, some, none, or all of the things ("elements") of the starting set. So draw the curly braces, and put one, some, or all of the things from "{apple, peach, banana}" inside. Do this until you've run out of ways to choose groups of one, some, none, or all of the elements "apple", "peach", and "banana".
If I have misunderstood your post, please pardon my confusion and reply with clarification, including your work and reasoning thus far. Thank you!
