The freezing point of distilled water is 32 degrees Fahrenheit, or 0 degrees Centigrade. However water can be super cooled before it freezes because it takes some time for the first ice crystal to form. Adding a speck of dust will cause the water to freeze at a faster rate.

Adding salt lowers the temperature at which that first ice crystal will form. The temperature at which the salt water will freeze depends on the concentration of salt in the water. The more salt the lower the temperature at which the water will freeze up to a point.

If you look at a bag of rock salt used for melting snow & ice you will see that the salt is effective down to about 12 degrees Fahrenheit. Therefore that would be the lowest temperature salt water could get to before it froze.

Pure water - 0 C
Salt water - depends on the salt concentration

Pure water: zero degrees centigrade (32 Farenheit?)
Salt water: depends on the salt. Typically at least -3 degrees

Party trick: pick up an ice cube with string.
put string over ice cube, sprinkle with small amount of salt.
Water becomes salty & melts, so string drop down. As more ice cube melts, salt becomes dissolved, water re-freezes over string. Pick up ice cube with string.

It doesn't stop being magic just because you knowhow it's done.

and don't forget that those figure are at sea level. The lower the atmospheric pressure, the lower the boiling point.
