SuperKrunch candy bars include both peanuts and almonds. Peanuts cost $5.00 per bag and almonds cost $8.50 per bag. The budget allows $850 to buy the nuts for a batch of candy bars. The relationship between the amount of each kind of nut and the cost for a batch of candy bars is 5x + 8.5y = 850, where x is bags of peanuts and y is bags of almonds. What is the y-intercept of the graph of this relationship, in context?

A.
5.0 bags almonds are purchased when no bags of peanuts are purchased
B.
8.5 bags of peanuts are purchased when no bags of almonds are purchased
C.
100 bags of almonds are purchased when no bags of peanuts are purchased
D.
