Suppose the Average Product of Labor in a textile plant is 20 shirts for 15 hours of labor. If an extra hour of labor adds 24 shirts, what is the average product of labor for 16 hours of labor? The answer is 20.25 but I don't know how to reach this conclusion.

I know that AP= Q/L but that doesn't seem to help in this case.

In 15 hours 300 shirts are being made.

How many shirts are being made in 16 hours?
