There are 8 cards with number 10 on them, 5 cards with number 100 on them and 2 cards with number 500 on them. How many distinct sums are possible using from 1 to all of the 15 cards?Answer given is 143. But my logic is for any sum, at least 2 numbers are needed. So, there are $\binom{15} {2} + \binom{15}{3}+...\binom{15}{15} $ distinct sums. So, I think answer 143 is wrong.
