that total would equal $100.08: so you would want X to equal equal or greater than 132

ok so the fixed rate is $  $75 $

that plus an additional $  $0.19  $ PER mile -- lets assume a mile is x -- so it would be $$0.19 \times x    $ or just $  $0.19x  $

now, what we are asked to find is how large should x be, so that its equal or greater than $ 
$100 $?

all that mathematically expressed would be:
$$     $75  +  $0.19x  \geq $100   $$
does that make sense?
