How it works
- w = / 100
- w = /(+); = ×w/(1−w); 0 ≤ w < 1
- Worked example: 1,000×0.05/0.95 ≈ 52.631578947 g; 50/(1,000+50)×100 ≈ 4.761904762%
- Supported input limits: : 1e-12 ≤ x ≤ 1,000,000,000,000; : 0 ≤ x ≤ 99.999999; : 0 ≤ x ≤ 1,000,000,000,000

Assumptions and limitations
Concentration is salt divided by salt plus water by mass, not salt divided by water alone. Only those two ingredients are counted. This arithmetic does not establish a safe preservation or fermentation recipe; other ingredients and processes are outside the model.
