Charge a flat rate of $10 and then $8 per mile

Answer 1

To make the charging method non-proportional, the company could implement a structure where the cost does not directly scale with the distance traveled.

The correct option is:

Charge a flat rate of $10 and then $8 per mile.

This structure means that there is an initial flat fee (the $10) that does not depend on the distance, making the overall charge non-proportional to miles driven since the first part (the flat rate) is constant regardless of distance.
