Answer:

10 + 0.8 + 0.006 = 10.806

Explanation:

Pick any two decimal numbers. The third one will be the difference between 10.806 and the sum of the two numbers you picked.

For example, choose 938.2 and 3.0055. Their sum is 941.2055. Then the third number that will make the sum be 10.806 is ...

10.806 -941.2055 = -930.3995

So, your three numbers could be ...

{938.2, 3.0055, -930.3995}
