I can confirm that answer is correct (every once in a while, textbooks
get it wrong too, but not in this case).

> But I am not getting that answer! Please help and don't make fun of me!!

I could just show you the calculation. On the other hand, you would learn
more from figuring it out yourself with as little help as possible. Since
you asked for "help" I assume you want to learn.
Could you show us what you did to obtain an answer? That way, we can see
where you erred and/or what you misunderstood.

You're welcome,
