Alright, put the following:

     Marcus is not correct, because if he was, he would have spent a total of 110 hours doing his homework, but he did not. He spent a total of 11 hours on his homework, so the percentage more of his homework he did this week would be 1 more hour, or 10% of last weeks more.
