Answer:
29% . . . or . . . 290‰
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratio of weight of salt to weight of water was ...
(14.5 g)/(50 g) = 29/100 = 29%
Sometimes, salinity is expressed as "parts per thousand".
29/100 = 290/1000 = 290‰
_____
Use of the abbreviation "PPT" for "parts per thousand" is not recommended, as that abbreviation has several different interpretations, including "parts per trillion."
