She can payback the loan of 3500$ as 3750$ after 7 months;
Thus, 3750/3500 = 1.071428
Which means she can pay 7.1428% higher after 7 months;
So, maximum interest rate that she can pay is = 7.1428*12/7 = 12.24489~= 12.25%
Thus, the maximum interest rate that she is able to pay is 12.25% annual rate;
