Here's the thread being mentioned (in case anyone else winds up here in the future):
viewtopic.php?t=13965

SciB mentioned in that post that, "The formula for weight percent is the weight of the salt divided by the weight of the salt plus water times 100." That's the same as "Method #3: Calculate the percent composition" on this page, just a little easier to visualize here: http://www.wikihow.com/Calculate-the-Co ... a-Solution

Is that what you're looking for? -ER
