In the mouth, there are 32 places for the teeth. For each place, two choices are possible, i.e., either tooth or not.

Choices for 1 teeth = 2

Similarly choices for 2 teeth = 2 × 2 = 22

Choices for 3 teeth = 2 × 2 × 2 = 23

……………………………………..

……………………………………..

Hence, choices for 32 teeth = 232

But this includes one case where there is no teeth.

∴ Required number of ways = 232 – 1.
