The best function type to model Juan's earnings based on the number of hours he works is **a linear function**.
This is because his earnings increase at a constant rate of $20 per hour, which is characteristic of linear relationships. The equation can be represented as:
\[ E(h) = 20h \]
where \( E \) is the earnings and \( h \) is the number of hours worked.
