Answer:

21 boxes of books

Step-by-step explanation:

guy= 140 lbs

each box= 40lbs elevator can only weigh up to 1010

i took 1010- 140 and got 870lbs left for the books

then i took 870 divided by 40 (to see how many boxes of books can be put on the elevator) and got 21.75

so 21 boxes could go on the elevator at a time
