Step-by-step explanation:

200 pieces of candy.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the amount of candy we had to begin with.

We ate 70% or 0.7 of our starting amount x.

After eating 70% of x, we are left with 140 empty wrappers.

Therefore, 70% or 0.7 of x is 140. So, we can write the following equation:

To find the original amount of candy, we just have to solve for x.

So, let’s divide both sides by 0.7:

Therefore, we started out with 200 pieces of candy.
