Difference: 28800 - 21200 = 7600
You must pay back $7,600 in interest (on top of the $21,200 principal)
Now divide by the original principal: 7600/21200 = 0.35849056603773 = 35.849% = 35.85%
This means that your loan has an effective interest rate of 35.85% (simple example: person A loans person B $100. Person B would then pay back person A $100 plus $35.85 in interest)
Edit: the other poster has a better solution since I forgot to factor in the fact that this was done over 6 years (not 1)

....total interest payed for 6 years and it is % of
% for years
so, % for year => % ; so, each year you payed % interest for loan

SI, or simple interest = 28,800 - 21,200, or $7,600
P = $21,200
T = 6 (in years)
R = annual interest rate
We then get: ----- ------
R, or annual interest rate = , or , or %
You can do the check!!
