The formula for Growth rate of per capita GDP is:

Growth Rate = (per capita GDP in 2016 - per capita GDP in 2014) * 100 / per capita GDP in 2014

Growth Rate = (1,200 - 900) * 100 / 900

= 300 * 100 / 900

= 30,000/900

= 33.33 or 33

Therefore, 33% is the per capita growth rate between 2014 and 2016.
