The answer is:  " 2,857. 143 g  seawater " .
___________________________________________________
Explanation:
___________________________________________________
(3.5 parts salt) /(100 parts water) =  (100g salt)/ ("x" grams seawater) ;

Solve for "x" ,  {the amount of seawater, in "grams" (g), needed to have                                               evaporated to leave 100 g salt}.

Cross multiply:

100* 100 = (3.5)x ;

10,000 = (3.5)x ;

↔  (3.5)x = 10,000 ;

Divide each side of the equation by "(3.5)" ;  to isolate "x" on one side of the equation ; & to solve for "x" ; 

→ (3.5)x / (3.5) = (10,000) / (3.5) ;

             → x = (10,000) / (3.5) ;

             → x = 2857.1428571428571429 ; → round to:  2,857. 143 ; 

                  → round to:  " 2,857. 143 g  seawater " .

The amount of sea water need to have evaporated to leave 100g salt is [tex]\boxed{2857.14{\text{ gram or 2}}{\text{.85714 kilogram}}}.[/tex]

Further Explanation:

The unit of the salinity is [tex]{\text{gram}}/{\text{gram}}[/tex]

Given:

The salinity of the seawater is [tex]3.5\%.[/tex]

The amount of salt is [tex]100{\text{ gram}}.[/tex]

Explanation:

The given salinity of the seawater is [tex]3.5\%.[/tex]

The salinity of the seawater is [tex]3.5\%[/tex] means that [tex]3.5{\text{ gram}}[/tex] of salt is present in the [tex]100{\text{ gram}}.[/tex]

Consider the amount of seawater need to have evaporated to leave 100g salt be [tex]x{\text{ gram}}.[/tex]

The amount seawater need to have evaporated to leave 100g salt can be calculated as follows,

[tex]\begin{aligned}\frac{{3.5}}{{100}}&= \frac{{100}}{x}\\3.5 \times x &= 100 \times 100\\x&=\frac{{10000}}{{3.5}}\\x&= 2857.14{\text{ gram}}\\\end{aligned}[/tex]

The weight of the seawater in kilogram can be obtain as follows,

[tex]\begin{aligned}x&=\frac{{2857.14}}{{1000}}\\&= 2.857{\text{kilogram}}\\\end{aligned}[/tex]

The amount of sea water need to have evaporated to leave 100g salt is [tex]\boxed{2857.14{\text{ gram or 2}}{\text{.85714 kilogram}}}.[/tex]
