what change would the company make to their charges to make this a non proportional situation?

A. charge $4 per mile instead of $12

The correct answer is B. charge a flat rate of $20 and then $12 per mile.

In a proportional situation, the rate stays constant regardless of the distance traveled. However, by charging a flat rate of $20 and then an additional $12 per mile, the company is implementing a non-proportional situation where the charges will vary depending on the distance traveled.
