Answer:
The correct answer will be- 35-36 pounds per year.
Explanation:
Soda contains a very high amount of sugar which could be one of the reasons for the excess weight of the population.
If we take 12 ounces of sugar per day which could account for about for 10-12 teaspoons of sugar.
1 teaspoon contains- 4 g of sugar
12 teaspoons will have- 4 x 12= 48 g of sugar
So per day, we consume- 40-48 g (45 g average) of sugar through soda.
Now per year, we will consume- 45 x 365= 16.425 kg sugar
Converting 16.425 Kg into pounds
Pounds per year- 35.274 pounds that (35-36 pounds)
Thus, 35-36 pounds per year is the correct answer.
