The best function type that models the scenario where Juan makes $20 an hour at his job is **a linear function**.
This is because his earnings increase linearly with the number of hours worked, meaning for every additional hour he works, he earns an additional $20. The relationship can be expressed with the equation \( E = 20h \), where \( E \) is the earnings and \( h \) is the number of hours worked.
