96!

It was actually 98 according to my history book!
:3
beware History books. They simplify. They even occasionally exaggerate, just to get their point across. I have consulted several French sources, and the best figures I can come up with are:
Total Population 26,000,000
!st Estate (Clergy) 120.000
2nd Estate (Nobility) 400,000
3rd Estate 25,480,000
Which is nearer to your 98%. BUT the figure of 26,000,000 population is not exact or in fact exactly known; estimates range from 28,000,000 down to 24,000,000.
