Assuming you meant 85.4 + 0.97 + 1.30, the correct number of decimal places should be 1, that is, only one digit after the decimal point. When determining the number of significant digits for purposes of addition, you round it off to the least precise of the numbers - the one with the fewest digits to the right of the decimal point. If you are asking how many total digits the answer should have - the answer would be 3 - (the sum would be written 87.7).

A number in scientific notation should have one number before the decimal place then two after. You move the decimal so this is true, then the number of places you moved the decimal will be the exponent. If you move the decimal to the right your exponent will be negative, if you move it to the left it will be positive. In this case you would move the decimal 5 places so you have 1.05x10^-5.
