Mr Bun baked a dozen buns,and a dozen buns plus one. mrs bun ate twenty one and so did both her sons.



12 x 12 = 144 (21 + 21+ 21+ 1 = 64 )64 - 144 = 96


is that right?

why what was the question?

no wrong...a dozen baked would be a baker's dozen therefore 13 not 12.

13 + 13 + 1 = 27 mrs bun ate 21 and the sons ate 21 between them = 42...27 - 42 = -15 giving a negative amount of buns meaning that mrs bun was hallucinating and therefore didn't have the buns, the sons had the buns therefore leaving 6 spare buns to feed sum pigeons. That was to make it less confusing
