Compute salt needed for a brine at a target percentage.
A one percent brine adds one gram of salt per one hundred milliliters of water, and the true salinity is computed against total weight. Brine strength controls both seasoning and how much moisture the food gains, so an accurate percentage prevents over-salting.
Brine Strength
Salt = water(ml) x salt%; salinity = salt / (water + salt)
