the oceans are 100% water... lol

If you're talking about pure water, without salt or liquid waste, probably about 97%... I'm not sure what the salt-to-water ratio is, but it does fluctuate depending on what part of the ocean you're drawing your sample from.

How much of the earths water is fresh water that is not frozen?

Very little of the water on earth is outside either the oceans or the polar ice caps. Only three percent of the water in the world is fresh, and of that:26.5 million cubic kilometres or about 2.1 percent of all water is in the Antarctic Ice Sheet3 million cubic kilometres or about 0.25 percent is in the Greenland Ice SheetMost of the rest is in a few major lakes like Lake Baikal (23,600 km3 or one fifth of non-frozen water), Lake Tanganyika (18,900 km3), Lake Superior (11,600 km3) and Lake Malawi (7,725 km3).The proportion of the total water that is fresh and not frozen is very small, around 0.003 percent of all the water in the world.

What percent of salt water is frozen?

About 90% of the world's ice mass is located in Antarctica, which holds about 70% of the world's fresh water and around 90% of the world's ice (and thereby about 70% of the world's fresh water). This means that less than 10% of salt water is frozen.
