A marine biologist is studying the population of bottle-nosed dolphins that lived in the Gulf of Mexico. On an outing one summer, they captured and tagged 60 dolphins. The next summer, they captured 90 and found that only 12 had been tagged. Based on this data, how many dolphins can they assume are living in the Gulf of Mexico?
