so, if we take then 2,763,888 to be the 100%, that was in 2010, then 6 years later, it went up by 10.4%, so the population in 2016 was then 100% + 10.4% that of 2010, or 110.4%.
now, if 2,763,888 is the 100%, what is the 110.4% of it then?
[tex]\bf \begin{array}{ccll}
amount&\%\\
\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}\\
2,763,888&100\\
x&110.4
\end{array}\implies \cfrac{2,763,888}{x}=\cfrac{100}{110.4}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{2763888\cdot 110.4}{100}=x[/tex]
