Answer: 10.96%.
Step-by-step explanation:
The percent increase is given by :-
[tex]\dfrac{\text{Increase in amount}}{\text{Previous amount}}\times 100[/tex]
Given : The total employment for police officers in 2006 was 648,000.
If there are 719,000 police officers in 2016, then increases in police officers = [tex]719000-648000=71000[/tex]
The percent increase will be :_
[tex]\dfrac{71000}{648000}\times 100=10.9567901235\approx10.96\%[/tex]
Hence, the percent increase = 10.96%.
