How many people does John have on his friends list? ** John has 75*3=<<75*3=225>>225 people on his friends list
How many people are on the combined list? ** So that means there are 225+75=<<225+75=300>>300 people on the list
How many people are on the combined list? ** So once you remove duplicates there are 300-25=<<300-25=275>>275 people
