Answer 2

It will take Marcus 56 minutes more to deliver 100 papers than 72 papers.

Explanation:

Suppose Marcus delivers papers at a rate of 9 papers in 18 minutes.

So, he can deliver 100 papers in =
`(18)/(9)*100= 200` minutes

He can deliver 72 papers in =
`(18)/(9)*72= 144` minutes

Difference in delivering time =
`200-144= 56` minutes

Hence, it will take Marcus 56 minutes more to deliver 100 papers than 72 papers.
