The problem provides specific attendance numbers for each day of the carnival but only asks for the total number of attendees on the weekend (Saturday and Sunday). While it contains information about attendance on all four days, only the weekend data is relevant for answering the question. Therefore, it has too much information.
Read the problem and decide whether it has too much or too little information DO NOT SOLVE IT:
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?
