A ton in english units (the system commonly used in the US) contains 2000 lbs. A metric ton is equal to 1000-kg. Since 1 kg = 2.2 lbs, a metric ton is the equivalent of 2200-lbs - just slightly heavier.
A ton is either 2000 pounds (American system of imperial units) or 2240 pounds (the old imperial system of measurement). (usually, the SI equivalent is called a tonne but sometimes a ton, and it has 1000 kilograms, so it's about 2200lb)
so, either (2000 - 400) lb or (2240 - 400) lb or (2200 - 400)lb.

There are three different definitions of "ton" in use. You have to define which one.
