Answer:

Her supply has 18 pounds

Please give branliest :)

Explanation:

Assume that the number of pounds in her supply is x.

We are given that:

She uses 1/3 x in salted mix and 2/9 x in unsalted mix.

This means that:

Total amount used = 1/3 x + 2/9 x = 5/9 x of her supply

Now, we are also given that:

She used 10 pounds of her supply.

This means that:

5/9 x = 10

5x = 9*10 = 90

x = 18 pounds
