Explanation:

Step1: Determine plants per flat

To calculate total plants sold on Sat/Sun, first know how many plants are in a flat (this is a base value needed for calculating daily sales).

Step2: Calculate Sat's plants

Once we know plants per flat, we can calculate how many plants were sold on Saturday (using the number of flats sold on Saturday and plants per flat).

Step3: Calculate Sun's plants

Similarly, use the plants per flat value to calculate the number of plants sold on Sunday (using the number of flats sold on Sunday and plants per flat).

Step4: Sum Sat and Sun sales

After having the number of plants sold on Saturday and Sunday, we find their sum to get the total plants sold over the two days.

Answer:

1. Determine the number of plants that are in a flat.
2. Calculate the number of plants sold on Saturday.
3. Calculate the number of plants sold on Sunday.
