<reasoning>

Determine the sign of the product

Using the Signed Numbers knowledge point
\[
(+)\times(-)=-
\]

Calculate the absolute product

Using the Decimal Arithmetic knowledge point
\[
2.93 \times 3 = 8.79
\]

Combine sign and magnitude

Using the Signed Numbers and Decimal Arithmetic knowledge points
\[
2.93 \times (-3) = -8.79
\]
</reasoning>
