Step 1: Find the original mode.

The mode is the number that appears most often.

GIVEN: 87, 97, 97, 87, 87, 87

The number that appears most often is 87. So, the original mode is 87.

Step 2: Replace the number and find the new mode

GIVEN: 87, 97, 97, 87, 87, 87

Replace one of the 97's with 87.

87, 97, 87, 87, 87, 87

The number that appears most often is 87. So, the new mode is also 87..
