You can put this solution on YOUR website! Starting with the data values 70 and 100, add three data values to the sample so that the mean is 85, the median is 76, and the mode is 76.
-----
Comment: For the mode to be 76 there must be at least 2 of them.
The 3rd number is not determined so let it be "x".
---
mean = (70 + 100 + 76 + 76 + x)/5 = 85
---
(322+x) = 425
x = 103
-----
Set: 70 76 76 85 103
