The interest rate is 3.5%.

EXPLANATION

We substitute the given values into the formula;

$A=P(1+\frac{r}{100})^t$

to obtain

$6427.35=6000(1+\frac{r}{100})^2$

We divide through by 6000 to obtain,

$\frac{6427.35}{6000}=(1+\frac{r}{100})^2$

This implies that,

$1.071225=(1+\frac{r}{100})^2$

We take the square root of both sides,

$\sqrt{1.071225}=(1+\frac{r}{100})$

This gives us,

$1.035=(1+\frac{r}{100})$

Add -1 to both sides of the equation to obtain

$0.035=\frac{r}{100}$

Multiply through by 100 to obtain;

$r=3.5$ %

$Therefore the rate is 3.5%$
