Final temperature of water after ice is dropped in

Heres the problem:
What is the final temperature after a 27.2 g piece of ice is placed into a styrofoam cup containing 124 g of hot water at 73.5oC?
Heres my method:
27.2 g * 333 J/g = 9057.6 J
then...
124 g * 4.184 J/Kg * (x - 73.5) = -9057.6 J
solving for x gives...56.0oC...yet the online homework program i use lists it as wrong...??
*delete me*! please! They say the answer is 46.0oC

An amount of water which will be released from a piece of ice must be heated.
Look also that the unit for specific heat is Joule per gram and Kelvin (not the degree Celsius).

alright, i figured it out!
i added this to my equation...
27.2 g * 4.184 * (x - 0)
to account for the water coming from the ice, and i got 46 degrees C!
Thanks for the *delete me*
