One US tablespoon (14.8 ml) of granulated sugar weighs 12.5 grams, from USDA FoodData Central, SR Legacy entry 169655 “Sugars, granulated”, portion “1 cup” = 200 grams, and 1 US cup = 16 US tablespoons.

The same 200 grams of granulated sugar is 1 US cup or 48 US teaspoons.
This is the level US tablespoon of 14.8 ml. The metric tablespoon of 15 ml (UK, New Zealand, Canada) is 1.4 % larger and takes 15.8 tablespoons; the Australian tablespoon of 20 ml is 35.3 % larger, so the same weight fills only 11.8 tablespoons of those.
How 200 grams of granulated sugar was converted to tablespoons
A tablespoon is a volume, so its weight depends on the ingredient. One US tablespoon of granulated sugar weighs 12.5 grams (twelve point five), so divide 200 by 12.5.
200 g ÷ 12.5 g
=16 tablespoons
(sixteen tablespoons)
The weight of the tablespoon comes from USDA FoodData Central, SR Legacy entry 169655 “Sugars, granulated”, portion “1 cup” = 200 grams, and 1 US cup = 16 US tablespoons. Scooped ingredients vary with how they are filled — spooned in lightly, a tablespoon weighs less; packed down, more — so for baking a kitchen scale is the exact tool and this figure the standard reference.
