I have a question.
Are we supposed to assume none of the sodium chloride was evaporated from the same original 10000 Gallons.
Hence of the 500 Gallons of original Sodium Chloride wouldn't the amount of sodium chloride in the solution also decrease by the same rate as the solution without Sodium Chloride?

We are told that from 10,000 gallons of a solution, evaporated 2,500 gallons of water. So, salt did not evaporate.
If it were the way you suggest (if salt evaporated at the same rate as the water) then the answer would simply be 5%.
Ok, I assumed that the two solutions were mixed in the same container.
Thank you Bunuel
