How many candles did Alyssa use? ** Alyssa used half of the candles, which is 1/2*40 = <<1/2*40=20>>20 candles
How many candles were left? ** The number of candles that remained is 40-20 = <<40-20=20>>20
How many candles did Chelsea use? ** Chelsea used 70% of the remaining candles, a total of 70/100*20 = <<70/100*20=14>>14 candles.
How many candles are there in the room now? ** The total number of candles in the room now is 40 - 20-14 = <<40-20-14=6>>6
