    0.33%

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The account value when principal P is compounded continuously at annual rate r for t years is given by ...

    A = Pe^ (rt)

    For the given values, we can solve for r:

    4193.89 = 4125e^ (r·5)

    We can divide by 4125, take the natural log, then divide by the coefficient of r to find the value of r:

    ln (4193.89/4125) / 5 = r ≈ 0.33%

    The interest rate is about 0.33%.
