(1 point) Responses Charge $15 per mile instead of $12 Charge $15 per mile instead of $12 Charge $4 per mile instead of $12 Charge $4 per mile instead of $12 Charge a flat rate of $20 and then $12 per mile Charge a flat rate of $20 and then $12 per mile No changes are needed.

GPT-4o mini · Answer

To make the situation non-proportional, the company would need to change its pricing structure so that the total charge does not remain directly proportional to the distance traveled.

Charging a flat rate in addition to a per-mile charge introduces a non-proportional element, as the flat rate would apply regardless of the distance traveled. Therefore, the option that would create a non-proportional situation is:

Charge a flat rate of $20 and then $12 per mile.

This option incorporates a fixed cost, which breaks the direct proportionality of the cost to distance.
