Adding strong acid to a buffer

A beaker with 175 mL of an acetic acid buffer with a pH of 5.00 is sitting on a benchtop. The total molarity of acid and conjugate base in this buffer is 0.1M. A student adds 7.30 mL of a 0.340M solution to the beaker. How much will the pH change? The pKa of acetic acid is 4.76.
