Those will be the current drawn at full load, or peak inrush current.  If
the supply is 84% efficient at the current load ('I') you are drawing off
it (it may not be, efficiency varies with load!), then you will be drawing

(I/0.84)*24/120 Amps from the mains supply.

That depends absolutely on the load current you are drawing and, probably
less important, the inrush current to the switching supply.  As a first
estimate, use the above formula to work out the current each will draw due
to the load you are running on it, then add 50% to the total to give you
some room for error!
