The problem has too much information. The number of attendees on Monday and Tuesday is not relevant to answering the question about how many people attended on the weekend (Saturday and Sunday). To find the answer, only the information about Saturday and Sunday is needed.
Read the problem and decide whether it has too much or too little information.
On Saturday at the Boxerville Carnival, 800 people attended. On Sunday, 650 people attended. On Monday, 250 people attended. On Tuesday, 350 people attended. How many people attended the Boxerville Carnival on the weekend?
