Would assume Simple Interest.

I = PRT

R = I/PT                Where R = Rate, I = Interest, P = Principal, T = Time

P = $100, T = 3 years, Interest, I = Amount - Principal = $125.97 - $100 = $25.97

R = I/PT

R = 25.97/(100*3)

R ≈ 0.0866 

To percentage  ≈ 0.0866  * 100% ≈ 8.66%

Rate ≈ 8.66%

Hope this helps.
