Here is a newbie approach:
In[1]:=
eqn = a[n] == a[n - 1] +
(a[n - 1]*5 - 1)/100
Out[1]=
a[n] == a[-1 + n] +
(1/100)*(-1 + 5*a[-1 + n])
In[2]:=
Timing[RSolve[{eqn,
a[0] == 1}, a[n], n] /.
n -> 30]
Out[2]=
{0.3068269999999999*Second,
{{a[30] -> 4909085745117164\
100520051333566036654601/1342\
17728000000000000000000000000\
0000000}}}
