Answer:
54
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the initial amount of sweets be x
Jane ate two-thirds of them = [tex]\frac{2}{3}x[/tex]
Remaining sweets = [tex]x-\frac{2}{3}x[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{1}{3}x[/tex]
The next day she ate two-thirds of the remainder i.e. [tex]\frac{2}{3} \times \frac{1}{3}x =\frac{2}{9}x[/tex]
Remaining sweets = [tex]\frac{1}{3}x-\frac{2}{9}x[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{1}{9}x[/tex]
The following day she ate two-thirds of the remaining candy before stopping.
She ate = [tex]\frac{2}{3} \times \frac{1}{9}x =\frac{2}{27}x[/tex]
Remaining sweets = [tex]\frac{1}{9}x-\frac{2}{27}x=\frac{1}{27}x[/tex]
Now we are given that Only 2 pieces of candy were left
So, [tex]\frac{1}{27}x=2[/tex]
[tex]x=2 \times 27[/tex]
[tex]x=54[/tex]
Hence she has given 54 sweets in the beginning.
