Answer:

75 to 80%

Step-by-step explanation:

The peasants, who alone constituted 75 to 80% of the total population, were by far the largest segment of the Third Estate. They owned about 35 to 40% of the land, although their landholdings varied from area to area and over half had little or no land on which to survive.
