The best function type that models Juan's situation is:
A. A linear function
This is because Juan earns a constant rate of $20 for each hour worked, which leads to a linear relationship between hours worked and money earned (i.e., the total earnings can be calculated as \( E = 20h \), where \( E \) is the total earnings and \( h \) is the number of hours worked).
