<h2>Answer </h2>

Percentage of salt is 56%

<u>Explanation </u>

The total weight of seasoning = 125 g of a certain seasoning total weight of salt = 70.0 g of salt to find the percentage we have to divide the weight of salt with the weight of certain seasoning and multiply by 100 like percentage = salt * 100/weight total. Hence the salt = 70 g seasoning and weight 125g.

Calculation are shown below:

70*100/125 = 70*4/5 = 14*4 = 56% in 125g seasoning, there is 56% of salt

Therefore, the answer is the percentage of salt mass is 56%.
