The total employment for police officers in 2006 was 648,000. If there are 719,000 police officers in 2016, what will the percent increase have been?

The increase is 719,000 − 648,000 = 71,000 officers. Divide the increase by the original 648,000 and multiply by 100: (71,000 ÷ 648,000) × 100 ≈ 10.96%, so the correct choice is 10.96%.
