To calculate the simple interest on a loan, you can use the following formula:

Simple Interest = Principal x Rate x Time

Principal: R5000 (the initial loan amount)
Rate: 8.5% per annum (percentage per year)
Time: 3 years (the duration of the loan)

To get the answer, follow these steps:

Step 1: Convert the rate from a percentage to a decimal.
8.5% = 8.5/100 = 0.085 (decimal form)

Step 2: Plug the values into the formula.
Simple Interest = 5000 x 0.085 x 3

Step 3: Calculate the simple interest.
Simple Interest = R1275

Therefore, the simple interest on a R5000 loan for 3 years at an 8.5% per annum interest rate is R1275.
