Answer 1

For this case we have to:

There are 6 plants per tray.

There are 6 trays for each flat, so for each flat there are
`6 * 6 = 36` plants.

Saturday day:
`18 flat * 36 plants = 648`

Thus, on Saturday they sold 648 plants.

Sunday:
`21 flat * 36plants = 756`

Thus, on Saturday they sold 756 plants.

Thus, in total
`648 +756 = 1404`plants were sold.

Answer:

`648 +756 = 1404` plants were sold.
