To make the charges a non-proportional situation, the company would need to implement a flat fee in addition to the per-mile charge. This would mean charging a fixed amount regardless of distance, in conjunction with the per-mile rate.

The correct response is:

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

This approach adds a fixed component to the pricing, making the total cost not proportional to the distance traveled.
