The global average is 3% but it does vary. Seawater has a salinity of arround 3.5 percent. In river deltas and depending on the river water mass this percentage may be eliminated for several kilometers like Amazon river. There is a salt lake in Israel Dead Sea which is the saltiest place on Earth that the salt percentage is 30% approximately.

Its not that salt has been added from a mysterious source, it that water has been taken away.
