    Hello

    3 years. Since no mention of compounding was made I will assume that it's 3.5% simple interest. So first, let's calculate what percent of the entire loan was interest. Just a simply matter of division. 2625 / 25000 = 0.105 = 10.5% Now lets' divide the percentage of the loan that was paid in interest by the interest rate. 10.5% / 3.5% = 3 So the company took 3 years to repay the loan.

    Have a nice day
