Average ocean water is about 35 ppt (parts per thousand). This means that there is 35 grams of salt in 1 liter of water. You're going to have to do the conversion to cups...

most oceans have about 35 parts per thousand of salt. The Mediterranean is higher, the arctic lower during the spring melts.
At 35 ppt, that is about 3 1/2 %. If a cup is 16 ounces, that's about half an ounce in 1 cup of water, or a little more than a teaspoon.

Heck if I know. Get a cup of ocean water and let it evaporate. Whats left at the bottom will give you your answer.

I think that may depend on what ocean we're talking about.
