Answer=4040pounds

First we need a conversion formula for tons to pounds.

1ton=2000pounds

2tons=2*2000=4000pounds

The older car weighs 4000 pounds.

Since the newer model weighs 40 pounds more than the older car, the following equation can be made, where x is equal to the weight of the newer car.

x=4000+40
x=4040pounds

The newer model weighs 4040pounds

If you would like to know how much does the newer model of the car weigh, you can calculate this using the following steps:

1 ton = 2000 pounds
an older car ... 2 tons = 4000 pounds
a newer model of the car ... 40 pounds more than the previous model
4000 pounds + 40 pounds = 4040 pounds

Result: The newer model of the car weighs 4040 pounds.
