Fruit beer - bottle conditioning

I have a fruit beer in the secondary. OG was 1.044 and was down to 1.011 when I added the large can of apricot puree. It's been sitting for about a week and fermentation picked up a bit but it was never vigourous. It has now stopped. Is there be enough yeast in solution in order to bottle condition? I can add a bit of dry yeast but how much is enough?
Cheers

There should be plenty of yeast in suspension to carb your beer

You will have enough yeast in suspension. If you ever want to add extra yeast(long primary/secondary or really strong beer), you can use a 1/4 of vial or 1/8-1/4 of a dry yeast pack.
