More than one way of skinning a cat but this is how I did it:-

Let distance from "speed change point" to destination be x

time (in mins) from start to "speed change point" t1 =

(300 - x)/260 (times by 60 to get minutes)

time (in mins) from "speed change point" to destination t2 =

(x/200) (times by 60 to get minutes)

Total time = 300/260 (x 60) + 8 = (900/13) + 8

Total time = t1 + t2

Therefore solve for:-

(900/13) + 8 = t1 + t2

Substitute for t1 and t2 and then resolve to get

x= 115.55555555 recurring!
