Calculating an Implicit Interest Rate

An individual expects to receive an income of $2,000 in the next period. They borrow $500 in the current period for an immediate expense. After repaying the full loan amount plus all the accumulated interest in the next period, they are left with $1,450 for consumption. Based on this information, what was the interest rate on the loan? Express your answer as a percentage.
