When sugar is dissolved in water why does the total amount of each substance stay the same?

In an ideal world a solute (sugar) dissolves in a solvent (water) without altering the volume. This is not always 100% true. The solute dissolves into the interstices of the solvent. Interstices means the holes between molecules - like pouring sand into a jar of marbles.
The volume does not seem to change as the interstices are filled with the solute.

How correlation between brix and total sugar?
Brix measures total dissolved solids while Total sugar is only a measure of sugar content. Higher sugar content will raise the brix measurement, but higher brix measurement does not always mean there is a higher sugar content.
