Final answer:

Shaun scored 24 goals, Jagan scored 15 goals, and Baharat scored 30 goals.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's assume that Shaun scored x goals.

Since Shaun has scored 9 more goals than Jagan, Jagan's score is x - 9.

And since Baharat has scored 6 more goals than Shaun, Baharat's score is x + 6.

Together, they have scored 69 goals, so we can create the equation: x + (x - 9) + (x + 6) = 69.

Simplifying the equation, we get 3x - 3 = 69.

Adding 3 to both sides, we have 3x = 72.

Dividing by 3, we find x = 24.

Therefore, Shaun scored 24 goals, Jagan scored 24 - 9 = 15 goals, and Baharat scored 24 + 6 = 30 goals.
