We are given
0.2 M HCHO2 which is formic acid, a weak acid
and
0.15 M NaCHO2 which is a salt which can be formed by reacting HCHO2 and NaOH

The mixture of the two results to a basic buffer solution
To get the pH of a base buffer, we use the formula
pH = 14 - pOH = 14 - (pKa - log [salt]/[base])

We need the pKa of HCO2
From, literature, pKa = 1.77 x 10^-4
Substituting into the equation
pH = 14 - (1.77 x 10^-4 - log 0.15/0.2)
pH = 13.87

So, the pH of the buffer solution is 13.87
A pH of greater than 7 indicates that the solution is basic and a pH close to 14 indicates high alkalinity. This is due to the buffering effect of the salt on the base.

Jones Soda contains 33g added sugar (C6H12O6) in a 355 ml bottle, while Sierra Mist contains 62g added sugar in a 591 ml bottle.
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

C6H12O6 molar mass: 180.15768 g

solute: sugar

molarity = moles of solute / liters of solution

Jones Soda:

33 g / 180.15768 g = 0.18 moles C6H12O6

M = 0.18 g / 0.355 L

M = 0.52

Sierra Mist:

62 g / 180.15768 g = 0.34 moles C6H12O6

M = 0.34 g / 0.591 L

M = 0.58

Sienna Mist has a higher molarity and is more concentrated.
