Answer:
A. 52
Step-by-step explanation:
Find how many months are in 4 years, since there are 4 years between her 13th and 17th birthdays.
There are 12 months in a year, so multiply 12 by 4:
12(4)
= 48
So, there are 48 months in 4 years. Since she buys a new teacup every month, this means she will have bought 48 more teacups.
Add this to the 4 teacups she got on her 13th birthday:
48 + 4
= 52
So, on her 17th birthday, she will have A. 52 teacups
