James and John combine their friends lists.  James has 75 friends.  John has 3 times as many friends as James.  They share 25 friends.  How many people are on the combined list?
John has 75*3=<<75*3=225>>225 people on his friends list
So that means there are 225+75=<<225+75=300>>300 people on the list
So once you remove duplicates there are 300-25=<<300-25=275>>275 people
#### 275
Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request.

### Instruction:
You are solving math problems. Here are some examples of how to solve the task:

Max fills up water balloons for 30 minutes at a rate of 2 water balloons every minute. Max’s friend Zach fills up water balloons for 40 minutes at a rate of 3 water balloons every minute. In the process, 10 of the water balloons pop on the ground. How many filled water balloons do Max and Zach have in total?Max fills 30 * 2 = <<30*2=60>>60 water balloons
Zach fills 40 * 3 = <<40*3=120>>120 water balloons
Max and Zach have a total of 60 + 120 - 10 = <<60+120-10=170>>170 water balloons
#### 170[END]

There are 28 students in a class. Two-sevenths of them were absent last Monday. How many students were present last Monday?28 x 2/7 = <<28*2/7=8>>8 students were absent last Monday.
So, 28 - 8 = <<28-8=20>>20 students were present last Monday.
