, where

A= Final amount after t years.

P= Principal amount.

r= Interest rate in decimal form.

Let us substitute our given values in above formula to find the interest rate.

Since r is in decimal form, so let us convert interest rate in percent by multiplying by 100.

Therefore, the original interest rate is 4.75% which is less than 5%, so Gil is not correct.
