A worker in a factory is preparing crates of strawberries for a delivery to a customer. At the beginning of the day, there were a certain number of crates already prepared, the worker is producing an additional number per hour. All of this is described in the equation. y = 25x + 100 In the equation, x represents the number of hours for which the worker produces crates of strawberries, and y is the total number of crates ready for delivery. What is the meaning of the initial value of the equation? A It means there were 25 crates of strawberries ready for delivery at the beginning of the day. B It means there were 100 crates of strawberries ready for delivery at the beginning of the day. C It means the worker is producing 25 crates of strawberries each hour. It means the worker is producing 100 crates of strawberries each hour.
