    D'anthony borrowed $ 50,000, which is the principal amount.

    The repayment was $5,000 per year therefore after 15 years he will have paid a total of 15 * $ 5000 = $75,000.

    Therefore, the interest accrued will be $75,000 - $ 50,000 = $ 25,000

    By calculation interest is given by principal * rate*time

    hence, rate = interest * 100 / principal * time

    = 25,000 * 100 / 50,000 * 15

    = 3.333%

    Therefore, the rate of interest was 3.33% per annum
