If the OP wants any single valid set, then this seems to work.
If he wants all valid sets, no joy.
I added a 10.00 and a 0.22 to the $values array and varied the position
of the 10.00 (before and after 3.76) and it seems to pull the first set
where the first member in the $values array is a member of the set.
For a second there, I thought it pulled the set where the largest
possible member in the $values array is also in the set.
Maybe it meets the needs of the OP?

Any valid single set is good, once found that data is marked and is not
in the search set any longer. So if I perform a second search for the
same amount it will give me the next set if it exists.
