15 pounds

Explanation:

for every 3 parts of dry fruit , four parts of nuts are added.
we know the total composition of the mixture is 35 pounds.


The total Composition of the mixture will be 7 parts

3/7 is dry fruit
4/7 is assorted nut


we can multiply the dry fruit composition to total
= 3/7 * 35 = 3*5 = 15

Pam needs 15 pounds of dry fruit to make the mixture.
