if we assume, this is simple interest at 6%, since you never specified above

then we can say that
\bf \qquad \textit{Simple Interest Earned}\\\\ I = Prt\qquad \begin{cases} I=\textit{interest earned}\to &49.27\\ P=\textit{original amount deposited}\\ r=rate\to 6\%\to (6)/(100)\to &0.06\\ t=years\to &(325)/(365) \end{cases}

notice, "t" is in years, so 325 needs to be converted to years by dividing it by 365

solve for "P", or the Principal amount
