    Answer: 720

    Step-by-step explanation:

    480 : 16 marked

    480-16 = 464

    They saw 464 unmarked squirrels and 16 marked squirrels

    464/16 = 29

    They saw 29 unmarked squirrels for every 1 makes squirrel

    29 * 24 = 696

    They would have seen 696 unmarked squirrels for the 24 marked squirrels.

    696 + 24 = 720
