    Each passenger car: 550 kg

    Front decoration: 200 kg

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Mass of passenger car: p

    Mass of front decoration: d

    6p + d = 3500 (1)

    4p + d = 2400 (2)

    (1) - (2)

    2p = 1100

    p = 550 kg

    4 (550) + d = 2400

    d = 2400 - 2200

    d = 200 kg
