Usually this is measured in grams of salt per liter of water. The greater the grams the greater the salinity.
With salt dissolved in the water (salt being a solid) the water is more dense (in a sense {loose sense}) salt filled the spaces between the water molecules, making an equal amount of salt water heavier than the same amount of water.
Get an "A".

Salinity is a measure of how much salt is in the water. If there is lots of salt dissolved in the water then the water is more dense (because there is more 'stuff' in the same volume).
