John is $87\text{th}$ from the left and $233\text{rd}$ from the right in a row of spectators. Find the total number of people in the row.

Given:
John's position from the left end ($L$) = $87$
John's position from the right end ($R$) = $233$

Formula to find the total number of people in a row:

$$\text{Total}=L+R-1$$

$$\text{Total}=87+233-1$$

$$\text{Total}=320-1=319$$

Thus, the total number of people in the row is $319$.
