15 mi/h= 15mi/60 min= 1/4 (mi/min)

x is original speed (mi/min)
t is original time
x*t =260

(x+1/4)=5x/4 is new speed
t-20 - new time
(x+1/4)(t-20)=260

xt = (x+1/4)(t-20)
xt=xt + t/4 - 20x - 5
t/4=20x+5
t=80x +20

We can substitute t=80x +20 into equation x*t =260
x*(80x+20)=260
80x²+20x-260=0
4x²+x-13=0

D=b² - 4ac = 1+4*4*13= 209
x=(-1+/-√209)/2*4
x=1.68 mi/min

1.68mi/min * 60 min/1h≈100 mi/h

Check
260/100=2.6h time with old speed
260/(115)=2.26 h time with new speed
2.6-2.26 = 0.34 h difference between old and new time
0.34h*60min/1h≈20 min difference between old and new time in minutes

Recall that in statistics, the mode is the value that appears most frequently in a set of data. You may find it useful to represent the data in statistical graphs such as dot plots or bar charts. In this case, we will use the following chart

As we can see from the image, The most frequently used numbers are 19 and 21. We are dealing with a bimodal data set. The mode is given by 19 and 21.
