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
