Keith has received a rate of return of 37.5% over the four years.

To calculate the rate of return, we can use the formula:

Rate of Return = ((Final Value - Initial Value) / Initial Value) * 100%

Given that Keith's initial investment was $4,000 and it grew to $5,500 over four years, the rate of return can be calculated as:

Rate of Return = ((5,500 - 4,000) / 4,000) * 100% = 37.5%

Therefore, Keith has received a rate of return of 37.5% over the four years.
