This question is not as daft as it seems. Pounds is quite obviously the plural of pound but what happens when 100 pounds is the subject of a sentence? One of the rules of the subject-verb agreement states:
Expressions stating amount of time, money, weight, volume are plural in form but take a singular verb as in:
Three weeks is a long time.
100 hundred pounds is a lot of money.
100 pounds is not very heavy.
100 litres of petrol was spilled.
A simple way to remember this rule is that although each expression is obviously plural they all represent a single unit or measurement of their own.
