Final answer:

About 70% of the total glycogen in the body is stored in muscle cells.

Step-by-step explanation:

About 70% of the total glycogen in the body is stored in muscle cells. Although the percentage of glycogen (by weight) is higher in the liver, the much greater mass of skeletal muscle stores a greater total amount of glycogen.
