WATER movies across the cell membrane by Osmosis
If a red blood cell is placed in a 50% NaCl solution, the cell will undergo a process called crenation, where water leaves the cell due to the high concentration of salt outside. This causes the cell to shrink and lose its normal shape, which can ultimately lead to cell damage or death.
Since a 9% saline solution is hypertonic as compared to the cell, it would crenate (crush or shrink).
When red blood cells are placed in a 9.0 percent NaCl (salt) solution, they will shrink and shrivel up due to the higher salt concentration outside the cell compared to inside. This process is called plasmolysis, and the cells will appear crenated or wrinkled under a microscope.

it is hypotonicQuoting from someone else's reply to this question What_is_an_example_of_a_hypotonic_solution,"0.45% NaCl (half-normal saline solution); since normal saline is 0.9% NaCl, any solution less than 9% is hypotonic".Doesn't this mean that 10% is hypertonic?
In a 10% NaCl solution, which is a strong hypertonic solution, red blood cells would shrink and shrivel up due to the high concentration of salt outside the cell causing water to move out of the cell through osmosis, leading to cell dehydration and eventual cell death.

10 percent NaCl is hypertonic to red blood cells. This means that the concentration of solutes outside the red blood cell is higher than inside, causing water to move out of the cell, potentially leading to the cell shrinking or shrinking.
9% NaCl is a hypertonic saline solution. Red blood cells will appear to shrink as they lose water out of the cell membrane and into the saline solution.

It violently explodes...
Red blood cells become crenated in a hypertonic solution, where the concentration of solutes outside the cell is higher than inside. This causes water to move out of the cell, leading to shrinkage and the formation of crenations on the cell membrane.

What will happen to a red blood cell that is placed in a solution of 90 percent water and 10 percent salt is that the salt will decrease in volume due to osmosis. Meanwhile the water will enter the red blood cell, making it swell up.
In terms of the salt concentration OUTSIDE the cell (in the medium), 0.15M NaCl would retain the normal condition of the red blood cell. Hope you liked it! :D
