The amount of the loan was $4,875.24

Given:
interest = 255.94
rate = 5.25%
term = 1 year

simple annual interest = principal interest rate term

principal = simple annual interest / (interest rate term)
principal = 255.95 / (5.25% 1yr)
principal = 255.95 / 0.0525
principal = 4,875.24

S.I. = 4,875.24 5.25% 1yr
S.I. = 255.95
