Answer:

Garth didn't save in the bank or buy raffle tickets

Explanation:

Garth earns $9.32 per hour. One week, he works 16 hours, thus his earnings that week were 16*$9.32=$149.12.

The question specifies Garth deposits $150 in a bank and decides to use the rest to buy raffle tickets, but he didn't earn enough money to save that much.

This problem cannot continue since the earnings are not enough to save or buy anything.

Answer: Garth didn't save in the bank or buy raffle tickets
