No changes are needed.

The correct response is:
Charge a flat rate of $20 and then $12 per mile
To make the situation non-proportional, the cab company would need to change their charges in a way that is not a constant ratio with the number of miles.
One possible change would be to charge a flat rate of $20 and then $12 per mile. In this case, the initial flat rate does not depend on the number of miles, creating a non-proportional relationship.
