What weight of water is displaced by a 100-ton floating ship?

The answer must be in SI units. This part is driving me insane, because no matter how much I search for its possible solution, I can't find it.

    A floating object displaces its own weight. All you have to do

    is convert 100 tons to an SI unit of weight (force).

    1 ton = 2,000 pounds

    100 tons = 200,000 pounds

    The SI unit of force (weight) is the Newton.

    On Earth, 1 kg of mass weighs 9.8 newtons, or 2.205 pounds.

    (200,000 pounds) x (9.8 newtons / 2.205 pounds) = 888,900 newtons (rounded)
