Answer:

8, 8, 14

Explanation:

Since 8 is the mode, it will appear the most. As there are 3 numbers, 8 will be two of them, so there are 2 8s.

To find the total of the numbers, do the mean multiplied by the amount of numbers, which is 10 times 3, which equals 30.

To find the last number, minus the two numbers you already have from the total, so 30-8-8=14

So the three numbers are 8,8,14.

Hope this helps! :)
