Mahesh borrowed $7,470 from Becky. He signed a contract agreeing to pay it back 9 months later with 5.05% simple interest.

Calculate the simple interest rate that Becky earned during the period that she held the contract. Express your answer as a percentage rate rounded to 2 decimal places but don't include the % sign
