    There are about 3 1/2 to 4 cups of powdered sugar in a pound. But this depends on the sugar's humidity, moisture, and density.

    Unfortunately there is no general answer because pound is a measurement of weight and cup is a measurement of volume. It depends on what you're measuring. For example: For water 1 cup = 8 fluid ounces = 8 ounces weight = 0.5 pounds. So 2 cups water weighs 1 pound. But this only works for water.
    Sugar is almost the same so 2 cups sugar weighs approximately 1 pound. But for flour you have 4 cups per pound.
