    Annual rate is 2.5% which is multiplied by $150. The answer you get is $3.75 that you get annually. And it takes around 40 annual interests to make up to the principal amount.

      Your question is ambiguous. If you want to ask that how long it will take for $150 to get doubled with simple annual interest rate of 2.5%. Then here you go:
      Interest you will get per year: 2.5/100 x 150 = $3.75
      if you withdraw that interest amount every year, then your amount will get doubled in 40 years: $150/3.75 = 40

        On the 365 th day, your $150 will have earned $3.75 interest at 2.5%.  
        If it were compound interest on a monthly or quarterly basis, it would have grown more.
