My note to myself says weigh the cucs and the water and figure out how much salt it takes to make a 2.5 percent brine! The cucs and water together weigh 5.6 pounds
Help, please!!

Got it… My scientist friend figured it out in two seconds
I want to know the answer please because it doesn't seem like there is enough
information to calculate it.
However, I did find this site if it will help anyone.

1 ounce of salt per quart of water equals a 3% brine.

I was an English major. When it comes to math I just follow directions!
That's what makes me mad at myself--I was a science major and was particularly
proud of mastering the rule of solving dilutions. By including the cuke weight in your question, which really only has to do with the total amount of brine you make, I was thrown off. LOL Making a 2.5% solution is easy!!
I should have been able to figure it out better, but the pandemic seems to have robbed my brain!! LOL
