226 donuts.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Amy has donuts = x

If Amy handed out donuts on National donuts day = 79

Then donuts left with Amy = (x - 79)

If the left donuts with Amy are 147

Then equation will be (x - 79) = 147

By solving this equation we can get the value of x

x = 147 + 79

   = 226

Therefore, Amy started with 226 donuts.
