For positive integers $n$ and $k$, let $S_k(n)$ and $S'_k(n)$ be the sums of the elements in the finite sets $\left\{x^k : 1\leq x\leq n, (x, n)=1\right\}$ and $\left\{x^k : 1\leq x\leq n/2, (x, n)=1\right\}$, respectively. The formulae for both $S_k(n)$ and $S'_k(n)$ are established. The explicit formulae when $k=1, 2, 3$ are also given.
Keywords: arithmetic function, Euler's phi-function, M\"obius function, M\"obius inversion formula, sum of power of integers
