We know that
1 can of soda---------------> 40 grams of sugar
if 1 gram sugar------------------------------------>has 4 calories
40 grams (1 can of soda)-----------------------> X
X=40*4=160 calories
then
1 can of soda--------------> has 160 calories
six-pack of soda every day--------------> 6*160=960 calories every day

in one year------------> 960*365=350400 calories in one year

if 3500 calories----------------> 1 pound of fat
350400 calories----------------X
X=350400/3500=100.11 pound
In one year she or he will gains 100.11 pound of fat

the answer is 100.11 pound
