The answer is 1.43 % per day.
Calculations:
Formula for simple interest: I=PRT, where I=interest; P= borrowed amount; R=rate of interest in percentage; T=time for repayment
hence; P=$300, I=$60, T=14 days, then R=?
R={(I/PT) *100)}% per day={(60/300*14)*100}=1.43 % per day
interest rate (R) that Fred was charged for the aforementioned loan was 1.43 % per day
