Charge a flat rate of $20 and then $12 per mile
how did u get that
To make the situation non-proportional, the cab company would need to change its pricing structure in a way that does not maintain a constant rate per mile. One way to do this would be to charge a flat rate of $20 for the trip to the airport and then an additional $12 for each mile traveled. In this scenario, the cost per mile is not fixed, as it varies based on the distance traveled.
show me with just numbers
Certainly! Let's use a specific example to illustrate this.
Let's say the distance to the airport is 10 miles.
In a proportional situation with a charge of $12 per mile, the cost would be:
10 miles * $12/mile = $120.
In a non-proportional situation, if the cab company charges a flat rate of $20 and then $12 per mile, the cost would be:
Flat rate of $20 + 10 miles * $12/mile = $20 + $120 = $140.
As you can see, the cost in the non-proportional situation is higher than in the proportional situation, demonstrating that the pricing structure has changed.
