The annual percentage growth rate of selfies per day over the 2 year period from 2013 to 2015 was 50%50%

Explanation:

Information from 2008 is superfluous.
In 2013, there were 200 million selfies taken per day.
In 2015, the average number of selfies/day was 400 million.

The change (annual percentage growth rate of selfies per day) over the 2 year period from 2013 to 2015 is:

400m-200m=200m400m200m=200m so the number of selfies doubled over the two years.

When a quantity doubles, it has gained 100%100% in addition to it's original value.

This occurred over a two year time span. So each year the gain was (100%)/2=50%100%2=50%
