You need to clarify which ton you are speaking of:

40 US tons (short tons) = 80,000 lbs.

36.29 Metric tons (tonne) = 80,000 lbs.

ADDED:> And UK ton = 2240lbs, but the question does say "in US".

One ton (short ton) is equal to 2000 pounds. Therefore, 17000 pounds is equal to 17000 / 2000 = 8.5 tons.
